That is because of an agreement the owner had to sign with Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, the Islamist group that has ruled for years in much of Idlib Province, in northwestern Syria, and which now controls most of the country with other rebel factions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cHookahs and music were banned from the beginning,\u201d said Yahia Naeme, the owner of the cafe, who said the ban had lost him business because many people used to come to his cafe specifically to smoke hookahs. \u201cIf we can\u2019t offer it, they\u2019ll get bored and go elsewhere,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Other cafes in Idlib have skirted the law by offering hookahs in speakeasy-type environments behind closed doors.
