AhlulBayt News Agency - Minutes ago in the East Ghouta region of Greater Damascus, the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” reportedly assassinated a prominent field commander of Jaysh Al-Islam (Army of Islam) inside the town of Zamalka.
The field commander was identified by rebel social media activists as Sheikh Abu Suleiman Taffur – no reason was provided for his assassination by Jabhat Al-Nusra.
South of Zamalka, the Syrian Arab Army’s 102nd Brigade of the Republican Guard – backed by the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Palestine Liberation Army (PLA) – advanced at Harasta Al-Quntara near the Marj Al-Sultan Military Airport after a violent battle with Jabhat Al-Nusra.
The Syrian Armed Forces have yet to capture Harasta Al-Quntara, but they do control a large portion of it that borders the Marj Al-Sultan Military Airport.
