Different parts of Deir Ezzur in Eastern Syria came to be the scene of fierce clashes between Ahrar Al-Sham, Al-Nusra Front, Jund Al-Aziz and the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the last several hours after the first three terrorist groups struck an alliance to wage an all-out war on the rival Al-Qaeda militant group.
The Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar Al-Sham and Jund Al-Aziz came into terms after a series of long negotiations in a move to be able to stand up to the ISIL, a rival Saudi-backed branch of the al-Qaeda terrorist group in Eastern Syria and Western Iraq.
Commander of the Al-Nusra Front Ahmad Saeed Al-Hejr was also killed in the clashes in Deir Ezzur.
Meantime, Abu Al-Laith Al-Maghrebi, a ringleader of the ISIL, was killed in Al-Tabni region in Deir Ezzur countryside.
Elsewhere in Hasaka countryside, the ISIL arrested two FSA and Al-Nusra Front commanders in Al-Shadadi countryside.
