Abdulbaset Hamdo, commander of al-Ashaer Army, or Army of the Tribes, was killed due to a land mine planted on his road near Deir Ezzor military airport.

Local activists celebrated the news on social media.

Hamdo was appeared once in YouTube video carrying two decapitated heads, purportedly for ISIS fighters.

Syrian tribes in their main stronghold in the eastern province of Deir Ezzor have showed patriotic resistance for both syrian army and hardline Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
.

Few number of tribes have joined Syrian forces in fight against civilians since the revolution erupted in March 2011.
