DAMASCUS, Feb 26 (AFP): Dozens of rebel fighters were killed Wednesday in an army ambush at the entrance to an opposition stronghold east of the Syrian capital, state television and a monitoring group said.
"Acting on information and in a well-organised ambush, our courageous army killed dozens of Al-Nusra Front terrorists, most of them non-Syrians, in the Eastern Ghouta area," said state television.
The army also seized the rebels' weapons, the channel said, using the term "terrorists" to refer to rebels.
