Thank you, my friend LTC Greg Henning for posting the perspective from BBC on the northwestern city of in Idlib, Syria
Most likely Russia and Turkey are the prime nation in isolating and destroying the capabilities of ISIL in Idlib.
1. Per DEBKA on February 17, 2020 "Russian special forces guard Syria’s Aleppo-Damascus highway
Feb 17, 2020 @ 19:39
For the first time since Moscow intervened in the Syrian war, Russian special forces are guarding the Highway 5 link between Aleppo and Damascus which Syrian government forces wrested from jihadist rebels last week. They Russian troops were posted as a deterrent after Turkey threatened a major offensive against the Syrian army if it did not withdraw from areas captured in the northwestern province of Idlib. This week Presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Erdogan are due to meet for a last effort to resolve their conflict over Idlib, Syria’s last rebel stronghold.

A whole lot of assholes shooting at each other, that's who.
Here's a relatively simple depiction of who's who in the zoo. I have another one on the classified side that depicts all 1348 factions, their alliances, and their enemies on it.
The place is a mess.

Col Carl Whicker - They ARE all bad guys; the only difference is what shade of black hat they are wearing.
You should see the complicated relationship chart. That is the craziest product that I have ever seen in 20+ years of doing this job.
