Beirut, May 13 (AFP\/APP): Syrian rebels killed 10 pro-regime fighters in northern Syria on Friday, in the deadliest such attack since a truce deal reached more than two years ago, a war monitor said.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear whether the attack was carried out by the area’s dominant jihadist group, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), or other rebel forces, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.<\/p>\n
The attackers fired an anti-tank guided missile at a bus carrying pro-regime fighters back to their home villages, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman told AFP.<\/p>\n
He said six rebel fighters were killed this month in similar attacks conducted by regime soldiers or allied militia.<\/p>\n
Friday’s death toll was the heaviest reported in pro-government ranks from a rebel attack since a truce agreement brokered by key foreign powers Russia and Turkey in March 2020.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
