Seven members of Syria’s White Helmets rescue group have been shot dead in their base by unidentified attackers.
The killings happened in the jihadist-held northwestern town of Sarmin, six miles (9km) east of the city of Idlib.
The group, officially called Syria Civil Defence (SCD), was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize last year for its work pulling civilian victims of bombing in Syria out of rubble.
It was active in rebel-held eastern Aleppo before the territory was seized by forces loyal to President Bashar al Assad.

Emergency services were called to Fruit World in Sylvania about 5 am on Saturday to find the property well alight.
Fire and Rescue NSW crews extinguished the blaze but not before residents were evacuated from nearby homes and the Princes Highway was briefly closed.
Police established a crime scene and guarded the building until investigators arrived later on Saturday morning.
“Inquiries into the cause of the fire continue and police have urged anyone with information about unusual or suspicious activity in the area to come forward,” a spokesperson said in a statement.
Fruit World was also damaged in late April by a fire which remains under investigation.

US President Donald Trump says the US military is “locked and loaded” to respond to any attack by Kim Jong-un’s forces, and Mr Turnbull has confirmed Australia would back the United States in any confrontation with the isolated nation.
But Professor Leahy urged restraint, saying “we need to do a lot of talking … [and] play as much as we can behind the scenes to stop this thing getting out of control”.
“I think we need to perhaps take a deep breath and … run as quickly and as hard as we can down the diplomatic and the economic options, because it’s a pretty horrid thought to think that in the space of just a few days — a week or more — we could be at war,” he said.
“It’s going to look bloody ugly.
Franklin kicked just one goal in each of his past two games but booted four on Saturday afternoon, all in the first half, to help the Swans to a 22.11 (143) to 5.9 (39) victory.
The result was never in doubt, as Sydney kicked 16 of the first 17 goals in front of a season-high home crowd of 39,281.
It is Sydney’s highest score of the season and their biggest winning margin.
It is Sydney’s 12th win in their past 14 games and keeps them in contention for a top-four spot.
Seven Sydney players kicked two or more goals with 12 bagging at least one major…

The stylus utilizes an optical sensor, invented by Lederer and his co-founders Opher Kinrot and Uri Kinrot, to measure any object’s motion in three dimensions. It connects to devices (laptops, smartphones, tablets, VR headsets) through Bluetooth and works with Windows and Android-based applications, including handwriting recognition software.
OTM also offers an iOS and Android app that allows users to take quick notes on their arm, the wall, a banana, etc. without having to open up their smartphones. In future versions, the company plans to implement two features: Phree as a headset to answer calls and a messaging screen on the stylus where users will be able to respond by writing on their leg, for example.
Even with Bluetooth latency, the connection between Phree and the device is fewer than 15 milliseconds, which is almost instantaneous. The stylus’s tip offers many levels of pressure and can be used as a brush. Although these features prove useful for illustrators, according to Lederer, Phree is geared toward young professionals for scribbling notes in meetings and annotating documents.
It’s impressive, but unless you’re an artist who doesn’t want to lug around a tablet, an account exec who enjoys defacing spreadsheets or the schmo who’s keen on seeing their handwriting digitized, $198 is a bit pricey just to save those extra few seconds of actually opening up your phone to jot down a note. Plus, it’s just another thing to stick in your pocket, along with your wallet, phone and keys.

She now stands just 10 hurdles from her ultimate plan – another world championship.
Pearson stood at the blocks in her semi-final and wondered, ‘What if lose? What then?’ Even champions have moments of doubt and Person had more reason than others to question if she still had it in her to win after a string of terrible injuries stopped her competing in a major championship for three years.
At 30, the comeback to fitness. She moved her last coach on and took matters in her own hands. She got herself fit and has now got herself into a world championships final in 12.53 seconds – the fastest time of anyone.
That time as much as the distance she had on the next runner was a big statement to the field that she was back.
