BEIRUT: Four suicide car bombs struck Syrian regime targets yesterday in the Qalamoun region near Lebanon, killing at least seven soldiers, a monitor and state news agency Sana said.
The attacks come a day after troops loyal to President Bashar Al Assad made gains in the Qalamoun area north of Damascus.
The attacks by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) and Al Nusra Front, two Al Qaeda-affiliated groups, came after rebels were driven out of nearby Qara village on Tuesday, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.AFP
