Syrian rebels burned homes and killed civilians in a sectarian rampage targeting Shiite Muslims in a village in eastern Syria, activists and officials said Wednesday.

The rebel attack on Hatla, in eastern Deir Elzur province, resulted in the deaths of unspecified numbers of civilians and combatants, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. The British-based monitoring group says it documents abuses by all sides in the Syrian civil war.

The official Syrian government press office said “terrorists” attacked Hatla and killed 30 people, including women and children. Anti-government rebels control large swaths of eastern Deir Elzur province.
