Two men on a motorcycle opened fire on pedestrians and shops in the town center of Sabura, northeastern Hama province, Syria, this morning, killing two and wounding five, according to the town mayor as cited by Gregory P. Waters on X over the past hour. The mayor suspects involvement by local Islamic State members, noting Sabura's remote position in rural eastern Salamiyah makes it a vulnerable target, per the Waters post at https://x.com/GregoryPWaters/status/2002394992434954721. Waters quoted local reports stating the attack left at least two dead and several wounded, some in critical condition. In a related development, a Syria monitor reported that at least five Islamic State jihadists, including a cell leader, were killed in US strikes overnight targeting more than 70 IS positions, following a deadly attack on American troops last weekend, according to AFP over the past hour.
