A top Syrian opposition commander has died from wounds suffered in an air raid on the city of Aleppo, rebel sources said on Monday.
The death of Abdelqader Saleh, head of the Islamist al-Tawhid Brigades, has dealt a blow to the armed opposition battling against President Bashar al-Assad’s forces.
“We declare the martyrdom of Abdelqader Saleh,” a statement by Tawhid said, according to Reuters news agency.
Saleh was wounded on Thursday after Assad’s forces raided a Tawhid meeting and killed another commander on the spot, opposition sources said.
He was to a Turkish hospital, where he later died.
