As a result of the ongoing clashes between members of the Al-Busaraya clan and ISIS militants, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Syria reported that six members of the clan were killed early on Sunday.

According to the correspondent, ISIS militants had surrounded a group of shepherds from the clan in the desert of Shula and brutally murdered them, as fellow clansmen failed to rescue them despite the appeals.
