At least 85
Syrian army troops were killed as the jihadist Islamic State advanced on
a regime position in the northern province of Raqa, a monitoring group
said Saturday, AFP reported.
The Syrian
Observatory for Human Rights said the fate of around 200 other soldiers
remained unknown, as the IS assault forced the army to pull back late on
Friday.
The Division 17
base has fallen from army control but "the jihadists have not moved
into the site for fear of air strikes", said the Britain-based group's
director, Rami Abdel Rahman.
The IS lost at least 28 jihadist fighters, he said.
The Observatory
said more than 50 troops were summarily executed, 19 more were killed
in a double suicide attack and at least 16 others had died in the IS
assault launched early Thursday.
"Hundreds of
troops surviving withdrew on Friday to safe places -- either to nearby
villages whose residents oppose IS or to nearby Brigade 93 -- but the
fate of some 200 remains unknown," said Abdel Rahman.
"Some of the
executed troops were beheaded, and their bodies and severed heads put on
display in Raqa city," stronghold of the feared IS, he said.
The assault on
Division 17 comes less than two weeks after IS killed 270 security
guards, employees and members of the paramilitary National Defense
Forces during a jihadist assault on a gas field in Homs, central Syria.
On Friday, the
U.N. Commission of Inquiry on Syria said IS fighters accused of
atrocities are expected to be added to a U.N. list of possible war crime
indictees
