A mass funeral took place in Syria's Sweida province on Thursday, a day after a series of attacks left more than 200 people dead in the southwestern region of the country.

Islamic State militants claimed responsibility for the coordinated assaults - the group's deadliest attack in the country for years.

Jihadist fighters on Wednesday had stormed several villages and staged suicide blasts in the provincial capital, Sweida, near one of the few remote pockets still held by Islamic State after it was driven from most of its territory last year.
