A high-ranking militant commander has been killed during fierce clashes with Syrian army troops and allied forces on the outskirts of the country’s capital city of Damascus.
The Syrian army has destroyed the leader of the so-called "Syrian Revolutionaries Front" Mohammed al-Masaalm, Syrian Armed Forces spokesman Brig. Gen. Ali Maihub said on Sunday.
Maihub told journalists that al-Masaalm was killed in the province of Damascus. "A large number of terrorists were destroyed, including the leader of the so-called ‘Syrian Revolutionaries Front’ Mohammed al-Masaalm," he said.
