2016-08-20
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian Air Force carried out a special mission on Friday night to target the jihadist leadership in the northern Homs countryside after receiving intel from ground sources of a specific gathering near the village of Al-Ghanto.

According to a Syrian military source, the Russian Air Force struck a joint meeting that was taking place between Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham and Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham (formerly Nusra) near Al-Ghanto, resulting in the death of over 20 jihadists, including 3 high-ranking commanders.

The military source added that 8 armored vehicles were also destroyed during the Russian onslaught on Friday evening.

Among the jihadist commanders killed on Friday, 3 of them were mourned by Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham: Najdat Mansour (Ahrar Al-Sham), Muzaid ’Abdel-Sittar (JFS), and Mustafa Muhammad Al-Hussein (Sharia judge of Ahrar Al-Sham).

#2  "after receiving info" Love it when that happens, even if it isn't true. Makes the folks crazy looking for the spy and figuring out what (not) to do or say in front of...somebody or...somebody else.
