IDLIB, Syria (North Press) – Unknown gunmen killed on Friday a member of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS, formerly al-Nusra Front) and injured four others in the western countryside of Aleppo, northwest Syria.
An exclusive source from the HTS said unknown gunmen, riding motorbikes, attacked a military checkpoint of the HTS on the road between the town of Darat Izza and the village of Gazawiya in the west of Aleppo.
The attack resulted in the killing of a member of the HTS and the injury of four others, the source told North Press.
Recently, attacks against the HTS posts have increased. On August 6, unknown gunmen attacked a checkpoint of the group, killing one member and injuring three others in the south of Idlib.
The HTS, rebranded in 2017, controls the city of Idlib and western Aleppo Governorate, under the guise of the Salvation Government.
