20 Syrian pro-government forces killed in two ISIS attacks: Monitor

ISIS group fighters killed Thursday 20 Syrian soldiers and affiliated pro-government forces in two attacks on Damascus-controlled areas of the war-torn country, a war monitor said.

A total of “16 regime forces and pro-government gunmen were killed in an (ISIS) attack on a military bus in the eastern countryside of Homs province,” said the Syrian Observatory for Human rights.

“Four regime forces were killed in another (ISIS) attack on a military site in the Albukamal countryside” in eastern Syria, the British-based monitor added.
