According to Ikhbariya television, Daesh extremists laid an ambush for civilians and soldiers while picking truffled mushrooms 25 km south of Al-Sukhna.

On January 12, a similar Daesh attack in the town of Palmyra killed four individuals.

According to experts, Daesh resorts, since its defeat in 2018, to gang warfare and attacks supported by clear intelligence instructions to wear down Syrian troops and allies.
