A senior commander of the Syrian militant group Jabhat Fateh al-Sham has been killed near Aleppo, rebel sources say.
The group reportedly said on its Twitter account that commander Abu Omar Sarakeb died in an air strike in Aleppo province.
It did not say which country's forces had carried out the air strike.
The Syrian government, Russia and a US-led coalition have all been carrying out air strikes against militant groups in Syria.
A source quoted by Reuters said that Abu Omar Sarakeb and others had been targeted in a hideout in the village of Kafr Naha, west of Aleppo city.
The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said an air strike from unknown warplanes had hit a meeting of Jabhat Fateh al-Sham, killing Sarakeb and another military commander named as Abu Muslem al-Shami.
