Abu Muhammad al-Julani
Abu Muhammad al-Julani is the leader of the Islamist group Hay'at Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), which has emerged as a significant force in the Syrian civil war. Following the fall of the Ba'ath Party regime, he has taken on a prominent role in the governance and military strategy in northwest Syria, particularly in the Idlib province. His leadership has been marked by a blend of military operations against various factions, including the Syrian government, and attempts to consolidate power in a region rife with conflict. Al-Julani's group has been associated with various extremist ideologies, but he has also sought to present HTS as a more moderate alternative to other jihadist groups, aiming for legitimacy in the complex landscape of Syrian politics.
