At least 62 rebel fighters have been killed in an ambush by the Syrian army, a monitoring group says.
The rebels were killed in a dawn ambush near the town of Adra, east of Damascus, the pro-opposition Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"At least 62 rebels fell as martyrs, most of them youths," the group said.
The state news agency Sana did not give a death toll for the ambush but said the rebels were from the al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front.
Sana said the rebels' machineguns and rocket-propelled grenades were confiscated.
More than 100,000 people have been killed in the 28-month conflict in Syria, with a further 1.7 million Syrians forced to seek shelter in neighbouring countries, according to UN estimates.
The army is still in control of much of Damascus and routes to the west, while the rebels have taken over swathes of the north and east.
On Tuesday rebels captured a key airbase in Aleppo province, near the Turkish border.
The Menagh base lies on a major rebel supply route from Turkey.
Rebels have also recently taken several villages in Latakia province, the heartland of President Bashar al-Assad's minority Alawite sect.
But forces loyal to the president have also made recent gains - in the cities of Damascus and Homs, and other areas of Aleppo.
