Rebels in Syria's battered south are returning to talks with government ally Russia, an opposition spokesman said today, after nearly a full day of unprecedented bombing on their positions.

The intense Syrian and allied Russian air strikes on Daraa and Quneitra provinces came to a halt as rebels made their announcement, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitor.

"The talks will resume, but they are waiting to see whether the meeting will be in the Nasib border crossing or in Busra al-Sham, the same place as last time,"
