Infighting kills 50 terrorists in Syria
Dozens of people have been killed and several others severely injured in violent clashes between rival militant groups in Syria.
According to Press TV, on Friday, al-Nusra militants killed at least 50 militants of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) in the eastern Deir al Zour Province near the border with Iraq.
Reports say the al-Nusra Front has taken control of the Shoula district and is advancing in other areas of the province. The surge in infighting highlights the divisions between militants fighting the Syrian government.
Rival militant groups have been lately engaged in fierce fighting.
The infighting has escalated in the past months, amid gains by the Syrian army across the country. In recent months, the Syrian army has managed to liberate a number of cities and towns from militant control.
