ISIS has executed 19 civilians in Syria, including two children, human rights activists have claimed today.
The executions are said to have happened in the last 24 hours in a village held by anti-jihadists in eastern Syria.
The claim has been made by the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which said the terror group also captured fighters participating in a US-backed operation against ISIS.
Rami Abdel Rahman, of the British based group, told AFP: ‘IS fighters entered Jazrat al-Boushams village on Friday evening and executed 19 civilians, including two women and two children, with bullets to the head before torching the corpses.
‘Some were rounded up in the street before being killed, and others were executed at home.’
It happened in Syria’s eastern Deir al-Zor province, near the provincial boundary with Raqqa.
The Observatory posted a video showing the corpses of around a dozen men who had apparently been shot. Reuters could not verify the video’s authenticity.
The three abducted fighters are believed to be members of the US-backed anti-ISIS Kurdish-Arab Syrian Democratic Forces alliance (SDF).
Jazrat al-Boushams village is in Deir Ezzor province, which is largely controlled by the jihadists.
It was captured by the SDF when alliance fighters first entered the region earlier this year.
