BEIRUT (Reuters) - A powerful insurgent group in northern Syria on Friday recaptured a village taken over by Islamic State earlier in the day, a monitoring group and online media affiliated with the rebels said.

Ahrar al-Sham, which is separately battling both Syrian government forces and the Islamic State, beat back the jihadists to regain control over Tel Suseen in Aleppo province, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
