Footage from eastern Qalamoun showed the SAA Pilot Nawras Hassan, in the custody of Jaish al Islam was executed by Jabhat al Nusra (Nusra Front) , the main Syria al Qaeda franchise group , Al Masdar News reports.

 Last Night SAA began to shell terrorist position held by Jaish al-Islam and Jabhat al-Nusra in the East Ghouta region of rural Damascus.

Up until today, eastern Qalamoun has witnessed a lasting ceasefire as local rebel forces even joined the SAA in a recent offensive to expel ISIS from the region – however, with the downing and subsequent execution of the Syrian pilot, clashes might very will return to the eastern Qalamoun between government troops and terrorists , many of whom are loyal to the Ahmad Abdo Brigade, a Free Syrian Army affiliate.
