Notorious Terrorist Commander Killed by Unknown Gunmen in Northwestern Syria

A senior commander of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) was gunned down by unidentified assailants in Southern Idlib on Wednesday.

Abu Abdul Malik Qafqazi, a notorious field commander of Tahrir al-Sham, was killed after unknown raiders opened fire at him in a region between Tahtaya and al-Tamanna in Southern Idlib near the demilitarized zone created by Turkey and Russia.

Qafqazi was gunned down a few hours after another Tahrir al-Sham’s commander was killed in Darkoush region near the town of Jisr al-Shughour in Western Idlib.

In the meantime, a group of Tahrir al-Sham terrorists attacked a base of ISIL in the town of al-Dana in Northern Idlib that inflicted several causalities on both sides.

Infighting has intensified after endorsement of the Sochi demilitarized zone agreement on Idlib.

On Tuesday, Mohammad Rahal, a notorious commander of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at (the Levant Liberation Board or the Al-Nusra Front) was gunned down by unknown attackers in the village of Ma’ardabsah South of the town of Saraqib in Idlib.

In the meantime, a number of gunmen of the al-Turkistani Islamic Party were killed after unidentified raiders opened fire at them in the village of Ashtabraq in Jisr al-Shughour region in Western Idlib.

Meanwhile, unknown raiders attacked a base of Tahria al-Sham in al-Lairamoun in Northern Aleppo, killing four terrorists and seizing their weapons.
