"A senior commander of al-Nusra in Atshan region, nicknamed Abu Moussa, was killed in the Syrian Army's operation in the Northern part of Hama province," sources said.
Earlier reports said that the Syrian Army, backed up by the country's fighter jets, repelled the terrorist group's attacks to break through the government forces' strongholds in the Northern part of Hama province, killing at least 28 militants, FNA reports.
The terrorists of al-Nusra Front and Jund al-Aqsa stormed the government force's lines of defense near Maan, but the strong defense of the Syrian soldiers foiled their attempts.
The terrorist groups left behind at least 28 members dead and many more wounded and pulled back the remaining pockets of their forces from the battlefront.
