Syria govt forces say surrounding French extremist camp in northwest

Syria govt forces say surrounding French extremist camp in northwest

22 October 2025 16:17 (UTC +04:00)

Syrian government forces said they had surrounded on Wednesday a camp in the northwest of the country housing foreign fighters led by prominent French extremist Oumar Diaby, who is also known as Omar Omsen, APA reports, citing Al Arabiyya.

The operation came after the extremist allegedly kidnapped a girl and refused to hand himself over to the authorities.

General Ghassan Bakir, a top security commander in the northwestern province of Idlib, in a statement said government forces had completely surrounded the camp near the Turkish border, where the extremist is holed up.

This comes after Al Arabiya’s correspondent reported on Wednesday that clashes between Syrian security forces and French militants erupted overnight in Idlib’s Harem in northwest Syria.
