Syrian media report that General Issam Zahreddine was killed by the detonation of a mine while transiting in the area of Hawija-Sakr.
The gen. Zahreddine was leading the Syrian troops when an explosion involved the convoy on which he was traveling.
He has been a national hero for years, he was the military commander who has tenaciously resisted the siege by ISIS (and the anti-ISIS Coalition bombs ...) in the Deir Ezzor area.
With him he does not die but a legend is consolidated that will be sent to Syria for a long time to come.
