Hurras al-Din is an Islamist radical group established in Idlib, northwest Syria, in early 2018 as part of al-Qaeda’s global network.

The source told North Press that the commander attacked was residing near an IDP camp. He was targeted during his roaming in the olive orchards close to his house.

An hour before the targeting, the area witnessed an intense flight of two drones of the Coalition, according to the source.

It is said that the commander killed is a member of the same cell that was targeted in February and resulted in the killing of two members of Hurras al-Din.
