(Zaman Al Wasl)- US-led coalition airstrikes killed 10 Islamist rebels fighting under the banner of Haya't Tahrir al-Sham, new alliance including former al-Qaeda group, local activists said Sunday.
The aerial bombing targeted the northern town of Sarmin less than 48 hours since suspected Russian airstrikes hit the same faction of Jonoud al-Malahem, leaving 6 fighters dead.
Fateh al-Sham, formerly known as Nusra Front, has dissolved in the 'Levant liberation' alliance, seeking to avoid the international coalition's air strikes, but that will never be a solution, activists said who went to streets on Friday, condemning the ex-al-Qaeda group.
Fateh al-Sham acts as regime in regard to brutality and repression, residents say in Idlib countryside.
The group is opposing any peace solution as well it has been launching attaacks on moderate rebels.
Haya’t Tahri al-Sham announced the formation of a coalition including several factions located in northern Syria, including Fateh al-Sham and Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, on 28 January 2017.
Meanwhile, representatives of the opposition arrived in Turkish capital Ankara to discuss the upcoming negotiation talks in Geneva, according to a Turkish diplomatic source.
The 37-day-old cease-fire was brokered by Turkey, which backs the opposition, and Russia and Iran, who support the Bashar al-Assad regime.
The next round of negotiations will be held between the government and opposition in Geneva on Feb. 20.
