Several oil workers were killed by the Islamic State (IS) in eastern Syria today.

IS fighters ambushed two buses carrying the workers back from work in the al-Kharata oil field in the southwest of the Deir ez-Zor province. Ten were killed and another was injured, Syria’s official news outlet SANA reported.

…The Islamic State is particularly active in Deir ez-Zor, and killed two Iranian military advisers there in June. The SDF controls eastern Deir ez-Zor, while the Syrian government controls the west.

Two young men were also injured when a mine left by IS exploded in the western city of Homs today, according to SANA….
 
The workers knew they are in a war zone. Its the company that is at fault for not providing adequate security.
If you cannot protect your workers, they should shut the oil field.
