...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...
faction were killed and another was maimed in an infighting with al-Hamza Davison in two villages of Jinderis district in the countryside of Afrin north of Aleppo.

The Ottoman Turkish-backed Ahrar al-Sham faction and al-Hamza Division are operating in areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo.

An eyewitness told North Press that intense festivities took place between the two opposition factions in two villages that administratively follow Jinderis district.

Two members of Ahrar al-Sham faction were killed and another one was maimed.

To date, the festivities are still ongoing. One military convoy of the Military Police faction in Afrin city intervened to break out the conflict, the eyewitness added.

On January 5, an infighting erupted between Death Eaters of two factions affiliated with Ottoman Turkish-backed Ahrar al-Sham, in the countryside of Afrin killing a leader and his lover companion and maimed others.

The city of Afrin and its villages, northern Syria, have been controlled by Ottoman Turkish forces and the affiliated factions since March 2018.

Since then, the region has been witnessing ongoing security chaos accompanied by infighting among Death Eaters of the Ottoman Turkish-backed factions, arrests, and kidnappings amid the factions’ disability to settle the security and spread safety.
