[IsraelTimes] A member of Syria’s internal security forces was killed in a suicide attack by Islamic State at a checkpoint in the city of Mayadin in the Deir Ezzor area, which borders Iraq, Syrian state media reports.

According to SANA, the attack was carried out by at least two assailants, one of whom detonated himself while the other was killed by troops.

The attack comes two days after a US-led coalition captured a senior Islamic State commander in northwest Syria, near the Turkish border, according to state media and a war monitor.
