The state-run SANA news agency said that most of those k!lled in day-long attacks on Deir el-Zour Saturday were elderly people, women and children. The k!llings are some of the worst carried out by the extremist group, which controls a large portion of Syria and Iraq.
The Syrian Observatory of Human Rights, a British-based group which monitors the violence on all sides of the Syrian conflict, confirmed the k!llings. Activists for the group said at least 135 were k!lled in the assault, at least 80 of them were soldiers and pro-government militiamen and the rest were civilians.
The group said that most of them were either sh@t d*ad or beheaded. The Lebanon-based Al-Mayadeen TV said ISIS took at least 400 civilians hostage.
A Syrian source told Reuters the terr@r group “committed a massacre among the civilians.” He said the pro-government army k!lled a large number of militants.
“They sent six suicide bombers first and they tried to break into military positions but failed,” the source told Reuters.
