The Islamic State group has been holding dozens of Druze women and children hostage since attacking their villages last week in Syria's southern province of Sweida, a monitor said today.
"At least 36 Druze women and children were abducted after the attacks,"said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
Both the Britain-based monitor and Syrian news outlet Sweida24 said 20 women and 16 children were being held.
