ISIS Kills 20 Near Damascus; Airstrikes Kill 39 in Idlib

HeadlineJun 13, 2016

In Syria, ISIS has claimed responsibility for suicide and car bombings that reportedly killed at least 20 people in a suburb of the capital Damascus. Meanwhile, the Syrian government has reportedly dropped barrel bombs on Darayya, another Damascus suburb, just hours after it received its first delivery of food aid since 2012. Residents said the raids began as people gathered to collect the much-needed food. This comes as at least 39 people have been reported killed in airstrikes blamed on either the Syrian regime or Russian forces in the Syrian province of Idlib.
