ISIS fighters stormed the desert town of al-Saan, in Hama Province, seizing the police station and capturing dozens of people, including both civilians and police. Eight soldiers are also being held.
ISIS has been trying to raid areas near the desert that they operate within. Al-Saan was a former stronghold of theirs. The civilians they captured are accused of being informers for the Assad government.
Syrian state media reported that the civilians were out picking truffles at the time of the raid, and ISIS made their way to the police station, capturing 13 police, the alleged informers, and the eight soldiers.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights head noted that abducted soldiers are usually killed, and that ISIS has also killed civilians they believe are in league with the government.

And we support these scum, give them arms and money.
Correction.
ISIS is not coming from the desert to terrorize the peaceful areas.
ISIS is coming from DEIR AZZOR, area controlled by US.
Nobody is denying that ISIS is sneaking out of DEIR AZZOR.
Nobody is denying that US controls DEIR AZZOR from the air, and on the ground, with about 50 square miles in Jordanian border where AL-TANF US base is located.
Is there a chance EVER that somebody will ask US official a question — to explain how is ISIS hid in plain sight of US military?
Let them try to explain how does ISIS live in desert, and which one? All deserts in that area are small, more like brush areas, with dirt roads. Easy to point with a finger.
And how is ISIS supplied with weapons, vehicles, and living necessities. Under $100 a month, there will be no soldiers. Who is paying them?
Even if nobody has the courage to ask questions, then as a MINIMUM we need to stop giving credence to such idiotic explanations for ISIS revival.
By repeating, over and over such ridiculously impossible tales, we are accomplices to imperial murders such mercenaries commit under our protection. We are just as guilty for the death of the innocents in this raid.
Another dead giveaway clue — ISIS could not care less for Assad. They were organized around fundamentalist religion. ISIS killed many Sunnis — not asking questions about their loyalty to any government, but because they violated Islamic fundamentalists rules.
The fact that this new “ISIS” is interested in politics – ie “Assad supporters” tells me that these are mercenaries that care less about religion, but are paid to terrorize any peaceful areas close to their hideouts in DEIR AZZOR.
In the end — Syrian Army or Russian Air Force will have to chase them to their bases, and US will have to fight “Russian aggression”.
Biden just cannot resist any opportunity to provoke Russia — be that on its borders or at sea, in the full view of Russian beaches.
The problem is — where are now US allies in the Middle East? Is he trying to whip them up into obedience, the way US is trouncing Europe at present?
Hard to say — there must be a method in this madness. We are too lowly to see the real purpose.
What we can do — not allow ourselves the luxury of being accomplices. Catching the interventionists at LITTLE lies, and the big ines will take care of themselves.
