According to accounts from Syrian pro-government forces who liberated the Al-Qaryatayn, IS militants slaughtered 45 civilian residents in what can be identified as a deliberate massacre. Reports say that IS targeted civilians who were said to have returned to Al-Qaryatayn after the town’s first liberation by pro-government forces in April 2016. The jihadist occupiers considered those they killed to be traitors and pro-government spies. The death toll continues to rise as pro-government forces uncover more corpses in and around the town.
