Free Syrian Army 101 Division HQ in Ma’arat Nu’man was attacked by a group of unknown jihadists. A shootout which began early in the morning on Sept. 23 has not subsided until now.Officially the 101 Division has suspended its cooperation with the Nusra Front (Fatah al-Sham) on July 21, 2014 and was then immediately attacked by them.

Current attack is associated with Nusra’s attempt to capture TOW anti-tank systems. While the majority of militant groups suffer from a shortage of anti-tank weapons, the 101 Division continues to receive them as part of US military aid.
