Rival terrorist groups engaged in heavy infighting in southern Syria

Two large terrorist groups affiliated to the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) have been engaged in fierce clashes in Dara'a Province after a terrorist commander was assassinated.

The dissident-affiliated websites reported on Tuesday that Commander of Shabab al-Sunna Nasim Abu Arah was assassinated by unknown attackers in front of a checkpoint in northern Dara'a.

The websites further said that Shabab al-Sunna terrorists later accused Jeish al-Thowra rival terrorists of the attack and engaged in heavy fighting with them.

Shabab al-Sunna and Jeish al-Thowra clashed with each other last week after the latter group's commander was assassinated.   

Field sources confirmed earlier this month that one of the notorious commanders of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) was killed after a bomb planted in his vehicle went off in Dara'a Province.

The sources said that Commander of FSA Artillery Regiment in Dara'a Province, Emad al-Sharif, was killed in a booby-trapped explosion in Dara'a al-Balad district in the southern part of Dara'a city.
