Daesh kidnaps 220 Assyrian Christians from northeastern Syria

Daesh has kidnapped at least 220 Assyrians from Christian villages near Hasaka, in northeastern Syria, Reuters reports.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the victims were kidnapped during a three day offensive near Hasaka, in which Daesh reclaimed 10 villages inhabited by the Assyrian Christians. 

Just yesterday it was reported Kurdish militias with support from airstrikes by the US-led coalition killed at least 132 Daesh militants since Saturday in Hasaka.

Earlier this month Daesh executed 20 Egyptian Coptic Christians in Libya.
