The leader of the largest Syrian rebel groups, Jaysh al Islam, was killed in an air strike on Friday in a suburb of Damascus.
The killing comes just days after the UN passed a resolution outlining a peace plan in Syria.
The air strike is believed to have been from Russian planes which fired at least 10 missiles at the group's headquarters.
Zahran Alloush's death is seen to have a significant impact on the rebels' control of the suburb, al Ghouta.
Jaysh al Islam was one of the main groups that participated in a recent opposition summit in Riyadh.
