Senior Nusra Front Leader in Homs, 8 More Killed in Syrian Army Offensive

A notorious commander of the al-Qaeda-affiliated al-Nusra Front was killed in clashes with the Syrian military forces in Northern Homs, FNA reports.

“In the meantime, Syrian Air Force bombed ISIL’s positions in Unq al-Hawa and Wadi al-Mesk in Jubb al-Jarrah, claiming the lives of several militants and destroying their machinegun-equipped vehicles and rocket launching pads,” the sources said.

In relevant developments in the province on Tuesday, Syrian fighter jets carried out several combat flights over ISIL’s concentration centers near three energy-rich regions, inflicting major losses on the Takfiri terrorists’ sites and military vehicles.

ISIL’s sites and military vehicles, loaded with ammunition, were targeted by the Syrian army aircraft in al-Sha’er and Jazal oilfields and near the town of Khneifes.

Daesh also suffered a heavy death toll in the raids.
