(Zaman Al Wasl)- Rebels have killed 15 fighters loyal to Bashar al-Assad late on Tuesday in a surprise attack targeted their checkpoints east of central Hama city, rebel sources said.
Rebels of the northern countryside of Homs attacked checkpoints of the paramilitary National Defense Forces in Tal Dera village west of Salamieh town, a region dominated by the Ismaili sect, an offshoot of Shiite Islam.
Few days ago, rebels attacked NDF in Tal Dera and Ayn al-Dananeer villages. The counter-attack left 16 fighters dead, activists said.
Rebels said their attack was in response to NDF ambush two weeks ago that killed 14 civilians north of Homs when they were fleeing the embattled rebel-held area to Idlib province.
