Syria war: Many dead in IS attack on displaced people's camp

Source: BBC

2 May 2017 Middle East

More than 30 civilians and Kurdish-led fighters have been killed in an attack by Islamic State militants near Syria's north-eastern border with Iraq.

They targeted a makeshift camp for displaced Syrians and Iraqi refugees at Rajm al-Salibi, near the town of Shaddadi in Hassakeh province.

The militants also also clashed with members of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) stationed at a nearby checkpoint.

The US-backed alliance is spearheading the battle against IS in eastern Syria.
