Syrian government forces killed 175 rebels that it described as mostly Saudi, Qatari and Chechen "terrorists" in an ambush east of Damascus, the state-run SANA news agency reported Wednesday, according to CNN.
There was no immediate response from rebels about the report.
The news agency, citing a military source, said that an army unit eliminated scores of Jabhat al Nusra and "Islam battalion" rebels.
