SIS kidnapped dozens of Druze women and children when it attacked their village last week in Syria’s Sweida, it has been revealed.

Sweida, which is mainly government-held and populated with members of Syria’s Druze minority, had been largely insulated from the conflict raging in the rest of the country since 2011.

But on Wednesday, a string of suicide blasts and shootings claimed by ISIS left more than 250 people dead in the provincial capital and nearby villages, most of them civilians.

During the attack, ISIS jihadists also abducted several dozen women and children from one village, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights and Sweida residents.

The Britain-based Observatory said 36 Druze women and children were abducted, but that four women had since managed to escape while another two had died.

That left 14 women and 16 children in ISIS captivity, said Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman. Another 17 men were unaccounted for but it was unclear if they were also kidnapped.

ISIS has not claimed the kidnappings and no details on them could be found on its propaganda channels.

    Relatives of Syrian inmates surprisingly receive news that their loved ones died in custody years ago.

    “Heart attack” – this is a common cause of death that the Syrian regime currently reports to thousands of Syrians who have been imprisoned since the war started seven years ago or who have since disappeared. It is likely that many of them have indeed starved, been tortured to death or executed. In May, the authorities tacitly started updating the data in the registration offices.

    Often, family members learn that their missing family members actually died years ago, such as during the 2011 uprising. In the case of Syrian activist Yahya Shurbaji, his family found out only through an updated entry in the death records that he would be many years after his arrest died in prison.

    What political interests are behind the sudden openness of the Assad regime?
