In Syria’s Hama region, 26 people were killed by ISIS terrorists while foraging for wild truffles, according to opposition and state media reports on Sunday. Foraging for truffles can provide a source of income in the financially devastated country, as the seasonal delicacy sells at a high price. Both civilians and military personnel were among the victims of the armed attack, which took place on the eastern outskirts of Hama. The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported the incident, while state news agency SANA identified the attackers as members of the ISIS terrorist group. Despite their defeat in Syria in March 2019, ISIS sleeper cells continue to carry out deadly assaults in both Syria and Iraq, where they previously held territories and proclaimed a “caliphate.” ISIS terrorists have repeatedly targeted truffle hunters, who work in large groups in remote areas, emerging from the desert to kidnap and murder them, ransoming others for money. Similar attacks targeted workers gathering truffles in February, killing 53 people, and six people were killed earlier this month by a land mine planted by the Islamic State group in southern Deir Ez-Zor province while foraging for truffles, according to state-run news agency SANA.
