BEIRUT, LEBANON (4:10 P.M.) – A jihadist rebel detonated his explosive belt near a government checkpoint, Saturday, killing at least two fighters from the National Defense Forces (NDF) and wounding five others.

According to the Golani Regiment (Fouj Al-Joulan) of the National Defense Forces, a jihadist detonated his explosive belt around 1:00 A.M. (Damascus Time), Saturday, destroying a building in the Golan Heights city of Khan ‘Arnabeh.

A Syrian military source told Al-Masdar this afternoon that the attack was likely carried out by Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham militants, as there is Islamic State (ISIL) presence in the area.
