IS initiated the attack through a suicide car bombing targeting the rebels' town posts, said the Observatory, adding that US-led anti-terror warplanes are believed to have struck IS in that area.
IS lost 10 militants in the attack, but gained control of the entire town, a victory deemed crucial for IS militants in their advance to secure positions in the northern countryside of Aleppo.
