Daesh rocket attack kills four in Syria
At least four civilians have lost their lives and nearly a dozen others sustained injuries in a rocket attack by Takfiri Daesh terrorists against a residential neighborhood in Syria’s eastern city of Dayr al-Zawr.
A security source, speaking on condition of anonymity, said four people were killed and 12 others were injured when several rockets fired by Daesh militants struck the al-Jorah neighborhood of the city on Tuesday, al-Ahed news website reported.
Dayr al-Zawr is located 450 kilometers (280 miles) northeast of the Syrian capital, Damascus.
The projectiles also caused damage to several houses and public properties at the targeted areas.
On June 18, more than 15 people were killed when several militant rockets struck Sheikh Maqsoud neighborhood in Syria’s strategic northwestern city of Aleppo.
In a separate development, Daesh militants executed five youths in eastern Syria on charges of “espionage.”
The terrorists decapitated the victims, whom they had arrested three months ago, in the city of al-Bukamal, which lies 120 kilometers (75 miles) southeast of Dayr al-Zawr, after accusing them of forming a cell and spying for Syrian government forces.
Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimates that over 400,000 people have been killed in the conflict. The UN has stopped its official casualty count in Syria, citing its inability to verify the figures it receives from various sources.
A ceasefire brokered by the US and Russia went into effect in Syria on February 27, but it does not apply to the Daesh and al-Nusra Front terrorist groups in the Arab country.
The Syrian army has vowed to press ahead with its counter-terror operations and uproot the terrorists.
