Eighteen fighters are dead after a car bomb blast hit a Syrian insurgent group in the southern province of Quneitra.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the explosion happened in the village of al-Isha on Wednesday, hitting a base belonging to Jabhat Thuwwar Souria, a Free Syrian Army group.
Suhaib al-Ruhail, a spokesman for the Alwiyat al-Furqan group which operates in the area, said it was most likely carried out by "Daesh sleeper cells", a reference to Islamic State.
The incident did not appear to be related to the current cessation of hostilities between the Syrian government and its allies and non-jihadist insurgent groups.
