Islamic
State has beheaded or shot 17 men in
Syria in the past two days as it faces increasing
attacks from unidentified gunmen in areas it controls, a monitoring group said on Friday. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which uses a network of sources across the country to report on the war, said the spike in execution-style killings follows the killing of 10
Islamic State fighters in
hit-and-run attacks in several areas around Deir al-Zor province this month. Deir al-Zor stretches from Raqqa to the border with Iraq and links
Islamic State's self-declared caliphate in the two countries. Syrian
State news agency SANA said on Thursday
Islamic State executed three civilians and displayed their bodies in the town of al-Mayadin.
