A powerful truck bomb exploded in a government-held village in central Syria, killing at least 35 civilians and wounding more than 50. The explosion went off in al-Horrah village in the countryside near the central city of Hama. It did not immediately provide further information on the attack or say what the target was. The Islamic Front, an umbrella for several rebel groups in Syria, claimed responsibility for the attack in a video posted online. Car bombs are common in Syria’s civil war, now in its fourth year. The conflict has killed more than 160-thousand people. Nearly a third of those killed were civilians.
