Syria regime attack kills 22 rebels in truce zone: monitor

BEIRUT, Nov 9, 2018 (BSS/AFP) – Syrian government forces killed 22 rebels
overnight near Idlib province, in the deadliest such attack in an area where
a recent truce is to be enforced, a monitor said Friday.

Fighting erupted when government troops seized a position in a rural area
in the north of neighbouring Hama province that had been held by the Jaish
al-Izza group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
