A former member of the Syrian parliament and three members of his family have been killed in a rebel-held area near the northern city of Aleppo, the country’s official news agency has said.

SANA said on Sunday that “terrorists” fired at Ibrahim Azzouz’s car in Sheik Said neighbourhood near the city’s airport, killing him along with his wife and their two daughters.

Rebels captured the strategic Sheik Said neighbourhood, southeast of Aleppo on Saturday.

It was a significant blow to regime forces because the area includes the road the army has used to supply troops.

The Syrian government refers to rebels as “terrorists”.
