Insurgent group in north Syria retakes village from Islamic State: monitor

BEIRUT (Reuters) - A powerful insurgent group in northern Syria on Friday recaptured a village taken over by Islamic State earlier in the day, a monitoring group and online media affiliated with the rebels said. Ahrar al-Sham, which is separately battling both Syrian government forces and the Islamic State, beat back the jihadists to regain control over Tel Suseen in Aleppo province, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. Islamic State militants had captured five villages including Tel Suseen from other rebel groups, bringing them within 2 km (just over a mile) of a government-held industrial zone north of Aleppo city.
