TEHRAN (Defapress) - According to Al-Ma’alumah, informed sources announced that ISIS terrorist elements have kidnapped more than 130 minorities in different regions of Syria.

ISIS-affiliated media outlets have published images and videos of the hostage-taking of 130 Syrian citizens, including several members of the country’s military, all of whom are minorities, especially Alawites.

ISIS elements have threatened to execute these individuals.

Informed sources added that ISIS’s goal in these actions is to obtain money by threatening the families of the hostages, especially in Deir Ez-Zor and Homs. In addition, ISIS’s kidnapping operations spread fear and terror among the Syrian people.

After the overthrow of the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria, ISIS’s movements and crimes in the country have expanded again.
