ISIS kills 14 regime soldiers in Syria: Monitor
2024-01-10
[Rudaw] Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) Lions of Islam launched an attack on a bus carrying Syrian regime troops in the vicinity of central Homs province, killing at least 14 soldiers, a war monitor reported on Tuesday.

The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that at least 19 others were maimed in the attack, amid an escalation of ISIS attacks since the start of the year in areas under the control of the Syrian government.

The war monitor also reported that festivities occurred between ISIS Lions of Islam and Syrian regime soldiers in Raqqa, which ended with the Lions of Islam withdrawing towards the Syrian desert.

A Syrian army lieutenant was killed in the Raqqa skirmish, according to SOHR.
