Fighting between Syrian opposition factions in Aleppo province this week have left one dead and two injured, amid another fierce battle between Kurdish-led groups and Arab tribes in eastern Syria.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Wednesday that seven NSB members were injured in fighting with the 37th Division, with one death but did not mention any injuries on the 37th Division's side.
The NSB is reportedly part of the Levant Front.

The ongoing war in Syria began in 2011 to overthrow Bashar Al-Assad's regime and has led to hundreds of thousands of deaths.
Various factions have fought in the conflict, from the regime and its Iranian and Russian allies to Kurdish-led forces backed by the US. Arab tribes and Kurdish factions that make up the Syrian Democratic Forces have been involved in fierce clashes this week, reportedly leaving dozens dead.
