BEIRUT - Rival Syrian Islamist insurgent groups Ahrar al-Sham and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham on Friday agreed to a ceasefire following days of infighting in Idlib province, an online statement from Ahrar al-Sham said.

Ahrar al-Sham and rebel factions would also withdraw from the Bab al-Hawa crossing on the border with Turkey, it said, ceding control to a "civilian administration."

Tahrir al-Sham, which is headed by al Qaida's former Syria branch, had earlier surrounded Ahrar al-Sham after advancing towards the crossing.
