National

 DAMASCUS- ISIS terrorists attacked Al-Assad Hospital in the eastern Syrian city of Deir Ezzor and committed a horrible massacre against its medical staff after taking them hostages, Health Ministry said on Sunday.

In a statement of which SANA got a copy, the ministry condemned the massacre and offered condolences to the families of the martyrs who refused to leave work at the hospital despite the terrorist danger and the difficult circumstances caused by the siege which have been imposed by ISIS on the city for more than a year.

 According to SANA, the ministry appealed to the United Nations health organizations and the rest of international humanitarian bodies to pay attention to the enormity of what takfiri terrorists are perpetrating in Syria, demanding them to take serious stand and put pressure on effective powers in the region for the immediate cessation of such takfiri terrorism.

The statement stressed the ministry’s keenness to continue to supply Deir Ezzor with medical tools and supplies to meet the citizens’ health needs, underlining that such brutal acts of terror will enhance the ministry’s determination to continue its humanitarian role.

A field source told SANA that units of the army and armed forces wiped out a group of ISIS terrorists who infiltrated into al-Assad Hospital in Deir Ezzor and detained a number of doctors, patients and civilians.

Earlier, the armed terrorist organizations also targeted the privately owned al-Dhabeet Hospital in al-Mouhafaza neighborhood in Aleppo city, killing 3 women and injuring 17 women and children.
