Mohammed al-Bashir has been named by rebels as Syria's interim prime minister
Rebels have named Syria's new interim prime minister as Mohammed al-Bashir, who previously governed a small pocket of rebel-held territory during Bashar al-Assad's rule.
In addition, Turkey has joined some Middle Eastern nations including Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Egypt in accusing Israel of exploiting the downfall of Assad.
The Israeli military has acknowledged its troops are operating in Syrian territory, beyond the demilitarised buffer zone between Syria and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
Earlier, the main Islamist rebel leader in Syria said senior officials of the Assad regime who were involved in torturing political prisoners would be named.
And in the capital Damascus, rebel fighters reportedly say they've found more than 40 bodies in a hospital morgue showing signs of torture.
