REPORT: Senior Al-Nusra Front Commander killed in Yabroud

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that a senior commander in the Nusra Front was killed late on Friday on the outskirts of Yabroud during shelling and clashes with the army and fighters from Hezbollah.

Abu Azzam al-Kuwaiti was the deputy leader of the Nusra Front in Qalamoun, the mountainous zone between Damascus and the Lebanese border where Yabroud is situated.

According to the Observatory, al-Kuwaiti had been a principal negotiator in the prisoner exchange last week which secured the release of 13 Greek Orthodox nuns held by the Nusra Front since December.
