The attack was carried out in Sousian, northwest of al-Bab and wounded many others, the sources said.


The Turkey-backed rebels on Thursday drove Islamic State from al-Bab, the jihadist group`s last significant stronghold in northwest Syria, along with the two smaller neighbouring towns of Qabasin and al-Bezah, after weeks of street fighting.
