Two Islamic State suicide bombers killed in Syria amid group’s resurgence
There has been an uptick in IS attacks throughout Syria in recent months.
The US military said on Sunday that its Syrian allies thwarted an attack by the Islamic State (IS). The group is seeing a resurgence and has carried out numerous attacks in Syria in the last few months.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) killed two IS suicide bombers in Hasakah in the northeast. The SDF ambushed the would-be bombers before they were able to detonate their explosives, CENTCOM said in a tweet.
