(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Air Forces of the coalition struck Syria’s northwestern Idlib Governorate on Wednesday, targeting leaders of the al-Qaeda splinter group of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham.
A coalition airstrike hit a Fateh al-Sham convoy in Idlib, targeting one of the group’s prominent leaders.
Abu Ibrahim al-Tunsi, a Tunisian terrorist and leading member of the Jabhat Fateh al-Sham terrorist group, was killed along with four other terrorist in the airstrike, local sources said.
“The air raid hit al-Tunsi’s convoy in the Aqrabat district in Idlib,” a local media activist said. “The terrorist leader and four of his guards were killed in the operation.”
On January 1, a coalition airstrike led to the death of Abu Omar al-Turkistani, a military commander in Jabhat Fateh al-Sham. “The US-led coalition hit al-Turkistani’s convoy in the vicinity of Sarmada town in Idlib Governorate, near the Turkish border,” local media activist Saeed al-Hamwi said at the time.
On January 12, another airstrike by the US-led coalition killed Abu Ali al-Tunsi, a security official within the Fateh al-Sham group.
Other prominent members of the group that have been killed by similar strikes last year included Abu Afghan al-Masri, an Egyptian, Abu Faraj al-Masri, also an Egyptian, and Abu Omar Saraqeb, a Syrian terrorist.
Jahbat Fateh al-Sham was previously known as Jabhat al-Nusra or al-Nusra Front.
