Jabhat al- Nusra dismisses about 30 fighters in the province of Hama

The information about the causes that make Jabhat al- Nusra dismiss about 30 fighters in the province of Hama is still conflicting. The sources confirmed to SOHR activists that the main reason behind dismissing them is that they have refused to fight “Islamic State” and disobeyed their amirs (leaders), while other sources reported that those who were dismissed were as sleeping cells for “Islamic State” inside Jabhat al- Nusra.

It is worth noting the dismissing coincided with series of bombing targeted jurists in Jabhat al- Nusra and its allied fighters of other Islamist factions in the province of Idlib; the last one was the attempt of assassinating a commander of gulf nationality by targeting his car in Jabal al- Zaweyi in the countryside of Idlib, meanwhile another Syrian Sharia judge assassinated by unknown gunmen 2 days ago. In addition to, 7 fighters in Ahrar al- Sham Movement, including the leader of Abo Talha al- Ansari Battalion and the leading figure in Ahrar al- Sham Movement Abo Abdurrahman Salqin, were killed when 2 militants blew themselves up in one of Ahrar al- Sham headquarters in Salqin area northwest of Idlib city in July 14. Other 31 fighters of Jbahat al- Nusra and Islamist factions loyal to it killed due to explosion targeted them in Salem Mosque in the city of Ariha after al- Maghreb Azan, date of Iftar, including 5 commanders of Syrian and Arab nationalities. Other operation also carried out against Jabhat al- Nusra, some of them failed while others left casualties
