CNN correspondents Samira Said and Steve Almasy say conflicting reports emerged Saturday after ISIS reportedly attacked a village in eastern Syria and killed many people. Activists said at least 135 people were killed while Syrian-controlled media said the death toll was at least 300. The London-based activist group Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said the dead included 50 Syrian forces or loyal militia fighters and 85 family members of security forces from the village of Bghailiye. At least 42 ISIS fighters died. The Syrian state-run news agency SANA reported the death toll was much higher and consisted of civilians. Citing sources in Deir Ezzor province, SANA said ISIS militants killed about 300 residents of the village. Most of the victims were women, children and seniors. SANA did not report any deaths concerning the combatants.
