Syrian state media and an opposition monitoring group said an kaboom has destroyed a van near the central city of Homs, killing at least eight people.
ISIS claimed Tuesday’s attack in Akarma, a regime stronghold south of Homs.
ISIS said it targeted a bus carrying Syrian soldiers, but the Britannia-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said those killed were civilians, including six women.
Syrian state TV has aired images of the van’s charred body, as well as damaged vehicles nearby. State news agency SANA says eight people were killed and 18 maimed.
Separately, Syria’s state news agency said Syrian air defense has shot down three Israeli missiles that were targeting a military post near Damascus.
SANA said the attack occurred early on Tuesday but has not said whether there were casualties.
