The TRT World reported that a suicide car bomb attack in southwestern Syria on Tuesday killed at least eight fighters, including regime and opposition forces, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The explosion hit Zayzoun, a village in the western countryside of Daraa province, which opposition forces agreed in recent days to hand over to regime control.
"Eight regime and opposition fighters who recently reconciled were killed in a suicide car bomb attack targeting a military position in Zayzoun," said Rami Abdel Rahman, the head of the SOHR.
No one immediately claimed responsibility for the attack, but the village lies near a sliver of southern territory controlled by a faction linked to Daesh.
The regime forces reportedly withdrew from Zayzoun against the backdrop of the attack, and locals confirmed that all the members of the regime have fled with their weapons and tanks.
Backed by Russia, Syrian regime troops began a bombing blitz of Daraa province on June 19, during which offensive dozens of civilians have been killed, and the number of displaced people raised to more than 320,000.
