Jihadist attacks kill 17 Syria pro-regime fighters: monitor
BEIRUT, April 27, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – Attacks by two jihadist groups killed at
least 17 Syrian government troops and militiamen in the northern province of
Aleppo early on Saturday, a war monitor said.
Thirty others were wounded in the assaults by Al-Qaeda’s former Syria
branch, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, and its ally Hurras al-Deen, which remains
affilated to the global jihadist network, the Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said.
