Turkish-backed fighters regain Saraqeb as conflict continues despite calls for ceasefire

Turkish-backed Syrian rebels have retaken a key town from Bashar al-Assad’s forces in the country’s last opposition-held territory of Idlib, as fighting continued despite growing international calls for a ceasefire.

Videos sent by rebel fighters in the town of Saraqeb on Thursday showed men cheering and waving the flag of the Syrian opposition on otherwise empty streets strewn with rubble and other debris.
