Images of people flocking to Saraqib and recently captured areas to see their property as the rebels opened the roads and removed earthen mounds and concrete walls blocking a major motorway. Jihadists and allied factions wrested the key Syrian town of Saraqib from government forces on Friday, as the two sides battled for control of the northwest of the country, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
