Militant attacks in Syria leave dozens dead.
TL;DR
ISIS militants killed 26 people, including civilians and military personnel, who were foraging for truffles in Syria's Hama region. Despite their defeat in Syria in 2019, ISIS sleeper cells still carry out deadly attacks in both Syria and Iraq. Truffle hunting can help people earn money in the war-torn country, but ISIS militants have repeatedly preyed on them, emerging from the desert to abduct them, kill some and ransom others for money.
