BEIRUT: Regime attacks on rebel-held areas in northwest Syria will "nullify" a ceasefire deal announced by Damascus, jihadists warned Friday, in their first official response to the truce.
Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), a militants group led by Syria's former Al-Qaeda affiliate, said "any bombardment or assault on the cities and towns of the liberated north, will nullify the ceasefire agreement", which the regime announced on Thursday.
In a statement obtained by AFP, HTS said it "reserves the right to respond" to any attack on the rebel-held Idlib region.
