   ISIS slaughters 33 young men in Syria with 'sharp tools'   
      
   Islamic State killers used “sharp tools” to murder 33 people in Syria   
   on Wednesday before dumping the bodies into a mass grave “filled with   
   blood,” a human rights group said.   
      
   The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the slaughter was “the largest   
   execution operation carried out by [ISIS] in 2017.”   
      
   The identities of the dead – men ages 18-25 – were not immediately known,   
   and it was unclear if they were civilians or captured soldiers. “Marks of   
   slaughter” appeared on the victims’ necks, the activists said.   
      
   It was just the latest horror to unfold in Syria this week. International   
   outrage is growing over the harrowing gas attack on the town of Khan Sheikhoun   
   in northern Syria, which killed at least 86 people.   
      
   The ISIS killings unfolded near the town of Mayadeen in Deir el-Zour province,   
   close to the Syrian border with Iraq. Opposition activist Omar Abu Laila, who   
   is from Deir el-Zour but currently lives in Europe, also reported the murders.   
      
   ISIS has carried out similar killings in Syria this year. When it controlled   
   the ancient Syrian city of Palmyra, ISIS routinely carried out public   
   beheadings, including the killing of the antiquities chief, whose body was   
   hanged from a pole in a main    
   square.
