(Zaman Al Wasl)- A U.S.- led air strike hit a Nusra Front meeting in Abu al-Dhour air base in Idlib province, killing 16 senior members of the al-Qaeda-linked group, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and activists said on Friday.

The disused air base had been heavily bombed in the attack, the British-based Observatory said.

In northern Aleppo province, fighters of Aleppo's Operation Room have recaptured Handcart camp and al-Rashideen neighborhood north and west of the war-torn city.

On Thursday, Noor al-Din al-Zinki Movement, in statement posted online, said they killed at least 75 militants from the pro-regime Palestinian al-Quds Brigade this week.

The Observatory said pro-regime forces had launched an attack on Handarat and al-Rashideen, supported by air strikes targeting Handarat in addition to the only road into rebel-held areas of the city.

At least five insurgents were killed in the fighting, according to the Observatory.
