A rare cease-fire negotiated with Hezbollah fighters in a Syrian town and two villages collapsed Saturday after several days during which guns fell silent, a rebel group involved in the talks and activists said.

The two Shia villages of Al-Foua and Kefraya, meanwhile, have been targeted in a parallel offensive by an insurgent alliance that includes both the hardline Ahrar Al-Sham and the local Al-Qaeda affiliate, the Nusra Front.
