A car bomb exploded in the area of Shehel, which is considered a stronghold for Nusra group in Deir Ezzor, leaving dozens killed, including one of al-Nusra commanders.

The opposing UK-based Syrian Observatory accused ISIL of carrying out the detonation, yet the group denied its responsibility and noted that the car bomb was planned to target its militants.

In Asharna in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezour, ISIL also detonated a car bomb, targeting a main FSA garrison.

In Raqqa, the commanders of ISIL legislated murdering Nusra and FSA members. As a result, ISIL detonated a number of houses in the province, claiming that their owners cooperate with Nusra and FSA.

ISIL also killed an Islamic State commander in the southern countryside of Hamah.
