A fortnight ago they were rebel gunmen fighting the Syrian state. Now with President Assad gone, the fighters of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) are Syria’s new de-facto rulers, and the new law in town.
HTS was once aligned with al-Qaeda and is still proscribed as a terror organisation by most Western countries. But it’s promised to uphold the rights of all Syrians.
BBC News has been on patrol with the rebels turned policemen in the province of Latakia, an Alawite stronghold where many people supported the former President.
Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Quentin Sommerville and camera-journalist Darren Conway.
