TL;DR Summary

At least six civilians were killed by a land mine in Syria's Deir Ez-Zor province on Sunday, with the "Islamic State" group being blamed for the incident. Truffle foragers are particularly vulnerable to land mines and IS militants since they work in large groups in remote areas. At least 137 civilians have been killed by land mines in Syria this year, including 30 children.
