A meeting place of the militant group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as the al Qaeda-linked Nusra Front, was destroyed in the Salah al-Din neighbourhood of Aleppo on Wednesday, the Syrian military said in a statement. The statement also said stores of arms and ammunition were destroyed in the old city area. It did not say whether there were any casualties. Syrian rebels say that insurgent-controlled eastern Aleppo has been under the control of rebels fighting under the banner of the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and not the Nusra Front. Alongside hard-line militants group Islamic State, Nusra Front was excluded from ceasefires which the United States and Russia have tried to implement in Syria this year.
