AlQaeda's affiliated militants group operating in Syria has killed at least 20 people belonging to the minority Druze sect in northwestern Idlib province. Local activists alleged that the killings happened in the village of Qaib Lawzah in Idlib province. The UK based Syria Observatory For Human Right says that fighters shoot a villager dead before another captured the rifle of a jihadist and opened fire, killing Nusra Front fighters. The dead included elderly people and at least one child, the Britain based Observatory said. The confrontation started when Nusra Front militants tried to confiscate the house of a villager who fought along side government troops, the monitor group said. More than 230,000 people have lost their lives in Syria since the conflict started in 2011.
