At least 47 fighters were killed in clashes between Daesh and Syrian rebels, a monitor said on Saturday, in an area where the United States and Turkey are planning to open a new front against Daesh militants.
The renewed fighting raged on Friday around the rebel-held town of Marea, 20 km (12 miles) from the Turkish border, the Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
The area falls within a "safe zone" Turkey said last month it would set up in northern Syria to help keep Daesh at bay.
Daesh said late on Friday it had waged a fresh assault on Marea, killing "dozens" of Syrian rebels fighting against it.

The group last week encircled Marea, taking several villages around the town, in a blow to rebels who are likely partners for Ankara and Washington in any ground campaign.
A loss of Marea would make it harder for Turkey and the United States to open a new front against Daesh.
