For the first time after returning to Idlib Province, ISIS carries out the first execution against “members of the regime forces”

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored the “Islamic State” organization carrying out an execution against 3 persons who were captured by it, and the execution took place in the countryside of Idlib Province, where 3 members of the organization executed 3 persons they said that they were “soldiers of the infidel Nusayri Army”, then they put the 3 captives on their knees, and slaughtered them and separated their heads from their bodies.

This process is the first execution against members of the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them in Idlib Province, since the Organization was able to enter the province after being expelled of it about 4 years ago, and being able days ago to go deep in the province and reach Sinjar town, which is about 15 kilometers away of Abu Al-Duhur Airbase, and going into violent clashes against the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian, Arab and Asian nationalities
