Islamic State militants attacked villagers collecting truffles in eastern Syria on Wednesday, killing at least 18
people and leaving dozens injured and missing, opposition activists and pro-government media said.
It was one of the deadliest attacks by the Islamic State group in the area in more than a year, they said.
The attack occurred in a desert area near the town of Kobajeb, in the eastern province of Deir el-Zour that borders Iraq.
