Syrian Rebels Kill 10 Pro-Regime Fighters In Deadliest Attack In Years: Monitor

The attack is deadliest since a truce deal was reached in 2020. The deal has held despite sporadic attacks by both sides, including continued Russian air strikes.

Syrian rebels killed 10 pro-regime fighters in northern Syria today, in the deadliest such attack since a truce deal reached more than two years ago, a war monitor said.

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.

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.

He said six rebel fighters were killed this month in similar attacks conducted by regime soldiers or allied militia.
