The Syrian al-Qaeda branch, Jabhet al-Nusra, said that 125 of its jihadists have been killed in Aleppo and Latakia battlegrounds in the past 12 days (since the beginning of the Holy month of Ramadan).

The group’s official account on social media reported that the slain jihadists were killed fighting the Syrian Army and allies in northern and southern Aleppo, northern Latakia (close to the Turkish borders).

The death toll doesn’t include yesterday’s casualties when the ultraconservative group lost dozens of fighters while storming the government-held town of Khalasah, southern Aleppo.

Among the killed in yesterday’s offensive are three top military commanders including the military Emir of Idlib.
