    So what exactly is the salary for jihadis in Idlib anyway? I'd imagine buying dakka has to be a massive pain.

    Most people in Idlib are very poor. @NoorNahas1 any idea?

    Not sure about specific salaries, although I think @ryanmofarrell or @Elizrael might know.

    Dunno about HTS, but Liz had this on NLF and SNAhttps://twitter.com/Elizrael/status/1190348999880060928…

    The Syrian Interim Gov doesn't have control even over the Syrian "National Army" - Turkey does. The Idlib & Aleppo-based NLF hasn't actually been absorbed into the SNA: one sign is that salaries of NLF are still ~$8 per month while SNA salaries are $50. https://twitter.com/LarsHauch/status/1190348330699776000 …

    Ashida said $100/month for HTS fighters at ribat points was "a dream" during his video in September, so significantly lower than that

    Replying to @ryanmofarrell @NoorNahas1 and

    Salaries vary depending on the number of ribat days, family size, but the average/mean HTS - $75 SNA - $50 NLF - $8 TIP - $0 @ajaltamimi any corrections?

        Really, TIP fighters get no salary? Do their individual fighters not have to pay for anything?

        they get food for free while staying with the unit and they also got stolen homes of Shia in Fua, Kefraya and other places. But at least single men, get no salaries.

        Sounds like the NLF/TIP guys are getting shafted tbh.

        Heard from a Faylaq al-Sham guy in Idlib the salary is 120-125 Turkish lira a month (around $20).

        Yet they walk around with thousands of dollars in cash and most own villas in Turkey worth $250k + Are you being deliberately misleading to the fact they steal and kidnap civilians changing 10k-$100k per hostage safe return? Looting homes and shops, charging rents? mercenaries.

        رباط It's to be on guard duty or frontline guard duty. More than just being part of the fighting force or offensive force, but also doing guard duty on frontlines.
