Jund al-Aqsa executed 41 fighters from al-Nusra Front (ANF) and allied factions last week during infighting between the two extremist groups in Syria's Idlib province, AFP reported Friday (February 17th).
Jund al-Aqsa captured the fighters and shot them to death in the town of Khan Sheikhun last Monday, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The deaths were confirmed on Friday amid fierce fighting between the factions, it said.
For the past week, Jund al-Aqsa has been locked in clashes with ANF , now calling itself Fatah al-Sham Front, after tensions erupted between them over influence in Idlib.
ANF is fighting alongside several allied groups as part of the Tahrir al-Sham coalition, and the clashes have spread beyond Idlib to neighbouring Hama province.
The Observatory said the clashes had killed 125 fighters from both sides, including the 41 executed by Jund al-Aqsa.
