Jihadists have killed 270 Syrian regime fighters, civilian security guards and employees since seizing a gas field in Homs province, a monitoring group said Friday.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights described Thursday's takeover of the Shaar field as "the biggest" anti-regime operation by the Islamic State (IS) since it emerged in the Syrian conflict last year.
The watchdog, updating an earlier toll of 115, said it had documented "the death of 270 people killed in the fighting or executed" since Thursday.
"A large majority of the men killed were executed at gunpoint after being taken prisoner following the takeover of the camp," said Observatory director Rami Abdel Rahman.

Stickers are sooooo 5 years ago.
The only way to effect change, the only way to get anything actually done in this era, is by unleashing the dreaded "hashtag". They recoil from the hashtag like a vampire looking at a cross.
Hashtag is the only way to motivate brutal, ruthless, dictators and terrorists in the modern age.
