According to Tasnim dispatches, the clashes broke out between the two previously allied groups of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as al-Nusra Front, and Jund al-Aqsa, on the outskirts of northwestern province of Idlib as well as west-central province of Hama in the past 24 hours.
The towns of Khan Shaykhun located in southern outskirts of Idlib, and Mourk in northern Hama were the focal points of the clashes.
The latest developments come as reports suggest that major Takfiri groups fighting in Syria are fractured more than anytime as they are struggling to close ranks in the face of army advances on various fronts.
The rift between them is getting deeper as the army has made major advances in its military campaign against the militants, retaking several areas across the Arab country.
Separately, reports suggest that the Syrian military is gearing up to launch a major operation against Takfiri terrorists in the northeastern suburb of the Syrian capital Damascus, planning to recapture militant-held al-Qaboun in eastern Ghouta.
Syria has been gripped by civil war since March 2011 with various terrorist groups, including Daesh (also known as ISIS or ISIL), currently controlling parts of it.
According to a report by the Syrian Center for Policy Research, the conflict has claimed the lives of over 470,000 people, injured 1.9 million others, and displaced nearly half of the country’s pre-war population of about 23 million within or beyond its borders.
