32 killed, 30 injured in IS attack near refugee camp on Syria- Iraq border

At least 32 people were killed and 30 others injured in an Islamic State group attack near a refugee camp on the Syrian side of the border with Iraq today. Syrian Observatory for Human<br/><br/>Rights chief Rami Abdel Rahman said at least five suicide attackers blew themselves up outside and inside the camp for Iraqi refugees and displaced Syrians in Hasakeh province. Abdel Rahman said heavy clashes then erupted between the IS fighters and members of the Syrian Democratic Forces, some of whose combatants were among the dead. The camp lies in the Rajm al-Salibeh area just inside Syrian territory, and at least 21 of the dead were displaced Syrians or Iraqi refugees. The Britain-based monitor said the death toll may rise because some people are in critical condition and others are still unaccounted for.
