High-ranking terrorist commander killed in southern Syria

A few hours ago, Jabhat Thuwwar Sourya (Syrian Revolutionary Front) published a eulogy for one of its most notable commanders.

Yousef Al-Hamdan, or Abu Lyas Mashara, was the commander of Al-Nasser Salah El-Din Birgade. He was reportedly scouting government positions from the vicinity of Tal Bazzaq in Quneitra province when the Syrian Army neutralized him.

After the government victory in the strategic town of Sheikh Miskin and the truce agreement in Da’el and Ibtaa, the southern fronts of Syria have been remarkably stale with neither side being committed to advancing on the opposing side.
