Captured U.N. peacekeepers cross into Jordan

Twenty one U.N. peacekeepers captured by Syrian rebels and held for three days in a southern Syrian village crossed the border into Jordan on Saturday, two rebel sources told Reuters.    

"They are all on the Jordanian side now and they are in good health," said Abu Mahmoud, a rebel with the Yarmouk Martyrs brigade which detained the peacekeepers in the village of Jamla on Wednesday. He said he had crossed over into Jordan with them.

Earlier, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that the Syrian army attacked ‘terrorist groups’ that tried to sneak from the Lebanese territories into Syria.  

In addition, the Aleppo international airport partially resumed its flights after that the Syrian army has seized a road linking  the central province of Hama to Aleppo international airport.

This as the Syrian forces bombarded Homs city and its neighborhoods in the last few days and regime forces were amassed outside of the city, said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
