IS Militants Kill 4 Civilians In Syria's Homs Province - Reports

At least four Syrian civilians were killed by the Islamic State (IS, outlawed in Russia) terrorist group in Syria's province of Homs, local media reported Saturday

DAMASCUS (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 16th March, 2019) At least four Syrian civilians were killed by the Islamic State (IS, outlawed in Russia) terrorist group in Syria's province of Homs, local media reported Saturday.

The Syrian citizens were murdered in the southeast of the province by a terror group consisting of the IS militants, who had penetrated into the region, according to Al Ekhbariya broadcaster.

Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, with the government forces fighting against numerous opposition groups and militant and terrorist organizations. As the Syrian government has regained control over most of the country's territories that were seized by terrorists, it is now focused on creating favorable conditions for repatriating refugees. Moscow is assisting Damascus in this process, along with providing humanitarian aid to civilians and being a guarantor of the ceasefire.
