Northwest Syria witnesses new wave of assassinations killing Nusra, Turkistani jihadist and Turkish-backed rebel ranks

Front), the Turkistani Islamic Party and Ottoman Turkish-backed rebels in northwest Syria have all been subject to liquidation attacks over the last 48 hours.

In southern Idlib province, Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham commander Abu Ward Kafr Batehkh was killed along with is bodyguards after Suqur al-Sham fighters opened fire on his vehicle north of Maraat Numan city.

Meanwhile in the province’s north, Jabhat Tahrir Souriya commander Abu Salim Binnish was stealthily assassinated by unknown assailants whilst on duty near the town of Binnish.

In western Idlib, unidentified individuals bumped off a group of Turkistan Islamic Party jihadists near the town of Armanaz, slaying three of them and then escaping the scene of the shooting.

Finally, in central Idlib, two JTS fighters came under attack by discriminatory gunfire within the city of Saraqib, resulting in the injury of at least one of the murderous Moslems.

The liquidations take place despite the recent implementation a ceasefire between warring bad boy groups (namely Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham and Jabhat Tahrir Souriya) in northwest Syria, leading some to the believe that serious inter-rebel hostilities may soon recommence.

There exists suspicions that Syrian government spies may be involved in some of the attacks.
