Starting on 2 December 2022, a series of intensified clashes broke out of the frontlines of the 'Idlib de-escalation zone' located in the governorates of Idlib, Aleppo, Hama and Latakia. These confrontations initiated through inghimasi, infiltration and sniper attacks by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) and allied militant groups against positions held by the pro-government Syrian Arab Army (SAA) positions.[11][12] These attacks were called We Will Not Reconcile by HTS.[13] In 2023, the first territorial offensive since 2020 was carried out by HTS in the area of Milaja.

According to the Syrian Observatory on Human Rights (SOHR), HTS aims to disrupt potential peace negotiations between Turkey and Syria, and is launching the campaign of attacks as a way of rejecting any deal made on the 'de-escalation zone' in Idlib.[14] Consequently, 2023 was the deadliest year of the Syrian civil war since 2020, given the escalating intensity of the clashes.[15]
