36 Women, Children Kidnapped by IS Last Week in Syria's Sweida
The Islamic State group has been holding dozens of Druze women and children hostage since attacking their villages last week in Syria's southern province of Sweida, a monitor said Monday.
"At least 36 Druze women and children were abducted after the attacks," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Both the Britain-based monitor and Syrian news outlet Sweida24 said 20 women and 16 children were being held.
