Commander of the Nusra Front Ahmad Saeed Al-Hejr was also killed in the clashes in Deir Ezzur.

Elsewhere in Hasaka countryside, the ISIL arrested two Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Nusra Front commanders in Al-Shadadi countryside.  
 
After more than two years of fighting side-by-side and leading one of the bloodiest conflicts in the recent history of the Middle-East, al-Qaeda affiliated groups have been making increasing moves against each other in the last few months.
 
Militants in Syria have been committing numerous war crimes against people and Syrian army soldiers throughout the country during their bloody war.
