A suicide bombing in southern Syria near Jordan's border killed more than 23 rebel fighters and injured dozens more on Friday, a monitoring group said.

The bomber detonated an explosive belt at a base used by Jaish al-Islam near the Nasib border crossing, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.

"Most of the 23 rebels killed were from Jaish al-Islam. Dozens were wounded, including 20 in critical condition," said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman.

No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, but militants linked to the Islamic State group have attacked rebels in southern Syria.
