(Zaman Al Wasl)- Maghaweir al-Thowra thwarted an attack by the regime army and allied militias in a desert area east of Homs province, leaving dozen killed and wounded, the rebel group said Wednesday.
The US-backed Maghaweir al-Thowra group said the attack took place in a de-escalation zone near the Iraqi border.
Bashar al-Assad, who now controls around 60 percent of the country, has vowed to reclaim the rest.
Maghaweir al-Thowra has been playing key role in delivering aid to the deserted Rukban camp at the Jordanian border and the displaced people near the Tanf border crossing with Iraq.
Eight years of war in Syria have killed 560,000 people and driven half the pre-war population of 22 million from their homes, including more than 6 million as refugees to neighbouring countries.
