#HTS_and_Fragmentation
Not an exclusive phenomenon to other jihadist groups, every extremist ideology thought is destined to fragment "No one tightens his commitment to religion, religion will prevail over him."
Since its establishment until 2013, its unifying identity that attracted the elements was its affiliation to Al-Qaeda. During this period, the percentage of ideological elements was 95%.
From 2013 to 2016, its identity remained Al-Qaeda, with direct and explicit affiliation after splitting from ISIS. However, it entered into competition with ISIS, leading to recruitment without clear criteria. The percentage of ideological elements decreased to 70% during this period. "This stage witnessed the split of Jund al-Aqsa in 2014, and the departure of a large bloc of those who follow the method. They will form Huras al din in 2018."
From 2016 to 2019, its identity became the largest Sunni jihadist faction fighting the regime, )After the establishment of Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham, the dismantling of the Free Syrian Army, and the overcoming and forceful control of the arena.) The percentage of ideological elements dropped to only 40%.
From 2019 to 2022, its identity became purely financial after losing its fighting identity against the regime. This period witnessed a decline in the percentage of radicalized elements to only 10%.
Since 2022, it has turned into a multinational corporation for each influential state in Syria. Part of HTS investigates their interests:
The U.S. uses it to eliminate Huras al-Din and ISIS.
Russia for commercial crossings and supplying goods to regime-controlled areas (gas, sugar, fuel, hard currency, money laundering).
Iran and the regime for direct and indirect penetration to tarnish everything Sunni Islamic.
The European Union uses it as a data scanner for every Western immigrant affiliated with ISIS or Al-Qaeda.
The number of detained agents has reached 650 out of 5500 fighters.
At this stage, the percentage of ideological elements is less than 3%, and the rest are mercenaries, drug addicts, Tax collector, merchants, and warlords. This excessive class of warlords, who change their cars several times a month and indulge in luxurious lifestyles with the latest mobile phones, has led the elements, especially the companions, to become agents, as they witness the private lives of the warlords. In the recent period, individuals were arrested on charges of collaboration, including:
The companion of Jolani and his transportation official (from Khan al-Sabil).
The companion of Abu Ahmad Hudud.
The companion of Abdel Rahim Attoun.
The companion of Zaid al-Attar, Abu al-Abbas.
The companion of Abu Hassan, 600, named Salman.
The nephew of Abu Ubaida, responsible for coalition organizations in charge of installing security cameras and all technologies.
