Head of Syrian Rebel Group Killed In Airstrike

                                 

Zahran Alloush leader of one of Syrian most powerful rebel group was killed yesterday along with 5 commanders in Damascus in a Russian airstrike.Jaysh al Islam is the strongest rebel group in Syria.
The group was targeted after a meeting east of Damascus.

Jaysh al Islam, with thousands of trained fighters, is the biggest and seen as the most organised rebel group. It has been effectively running the administration of Eastern Ghouta.
Before setting up Jaysh al Islam, Alloush had founded Liwa al-Islam, or the Brigade of Islam, with his father Abdallah, a Salafist Syrian cleric based in Saudi Arabia.
Alloush was ideologically at odds with ISIS and al Qaeda, espousing a more moderate brand of Islam. However he rejected democracy and also called for the killing of Shiites and Alawites.
