[SYRIAHR] Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: reliable sources have informed the Syrian Observatory that a member of "Idlib Free Army" from al-Mawzarah town in Jabal al-Zawiyah was rubbed out by unidentified gunman, in a neighbourhood in Idlib city.

SOHR sources reported earlier this morning that as security situation was deteriorating in areas under the control of Hayyaat Tahrir al-Sham, formerly al-Nusra, before that it was called something else
...al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate, from which sprang the Islamic State...
 and the factions in Idlib province and surrounding countryside, Syrian Observatory activists documented the death of two displaced young men from Khattab village in the northern countryside of Hama, in uncertain circumstances. The victims’ bodies were found in a farmland near Kafr Nouran village in the western countryside of Aleppo with marks of gun shoots on them. No information has been reported about the perpetrators so far.

As more fatalities were documented, the number of people who have been killed in the countryside of Idlib, Aleppo, Hama, and Latakia since the 26th of April 2018, the start date of the security chaos to be escalated in these provinces, rose to 650. They were assassinated by kabooms, IED detonations, gunfire, abductions and then killing and throwing the bodies in remote areas. The fatalities were distributed as follows.

    ...a Syria jihadi group made up of Islamists and salafists, not that there's that much difference, formed into a brigade. They make up the main element of the Islamic Front but they don't profess adoration of al-Qaeda and they've been fighting (mainly for survival) against the Islamic State. Their leadership was wiped out at a single blow by a suicide kaboom at a crowded basement meeting in September, 2014...
    , Jaish al-Izza, and other factions operating in Idlib
