ISIS claimed to have carried out two attacks against Syrian security forces - the first since the overthrow of dictator Bashar Assad, after which President Ahmed al-Shra (Abu Mohammed al-Jolani) came to power, CNN reported. The jihadist terror organization claimed it killed and wounded seven of al-Jolani's regime personnel using an explosive device planted on a road in the southern Syrian province of As-Suwayda. However, a security source in the province told CNN that a 'Free Syrian Army' unit fell victim to the ambush, with one fighter killed and three wounded.
