At least 101 people were killed today (May 23, 2016) in two Syrian regime bastions in a spate of bombings claimed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) jihadist group, according to the Times of Israel website.
Fifty-three people were killed in the city of Jableh and another 48 died in Tartus further south, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group.
Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said they were "without a doubt the deadliest attacks" on the two cities since Syria's civil war erupted in March 2011.
Seven bombs -- most of them suicide attacks -- hit Jableh and Tartus almost simultaneously this morning.
