Islamic State claims suicide attack that killed 14 in Syria
The Islamic State jihadist group claims responsibility for a suicide attack in southern Syria that killed more than a dozen soldiers and pro-government fighters.
The IS-linked Aamaq news agency carried the claim for the attack in the southern village of Zeizoun, which was captured by government forces this week as part of a major offensive against rebels in southern Syria.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a group that closely monitors the civil war, says the attack left 14 soldiers and pro-government gunmen dead.
The attack came as government forces continued to mass troops on Wednesday ahead of an attack on the Yarmouk Basin region, which is controlled by the IS-linked Khaled bin Al-Waleed Army.
