Jihadists kill 22 pro-regime Syria fighters

Attacks by two jihadist groups killed at least 22 Syrian government troops and militiamen in the northern province of Aleppo early yesterday, a war monitor said.

Thirty others were wounded in the assaults by al-Qaeda’s former Syria branch, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), and its ally Hurras al-Deen, which remains affiliated to the global jihadist network, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

The attacks in the southern and southwestern countryside of Aleppo province were launched shortly after midnight and triggered clashes that continued until dawn, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said.
