Three suicide attackers in women’s clothing killed six people leaving ISIS enclave in eastern Syria on Friday (March 15) in simultaneous blasts, SDF said.
The attack appears to be the first to target the many thousands of people who have poured out of the enclave at Baghouz over the five weeks since the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) began an offensive there.
People fleeing the area have included surrendering ISIS members, their family members, and civilians.
An SDF spokesman, Mustafa Bali, said the attacks had targeted surrendering family members of ISIS at three crossing points from the enclave into SDF-controlled territory.
Three SDF members were slightly injured and it was not yet known if the attackers were women or men in women’s clothing, Bali added.
A witness said three women had carried out the attack at the corridor through which people were surrendering to the SDF.
