Syrian Rebels?

Syrian Islamists murders 150 fellow insurgents as battle becomes more bloody

SYRIAN Islamist fighters have killed scores of insurgents in the west of the country in an increasingly bloody battle between different militant groups, the SITE Intelligence Group said.

An offshoot of the Jund al-Aqsa group killed more than 150 members of rebel factions in the village of Khan Sheikhoun in southern Idlib province, the US-based monitoring service reported. 
Dozens of those murdered were members of a Free Syrian Army (FSA) faction, it said, citing a pro-al Qaeda social media outlet. 
The rest included members of the Tahrir al-Sham alliance, which includes the former branch in , Jabhat Fateh al-Sham.
