Islamic State militants have beheaded and dismembered dozens of women and children in horrific attacks on Syrian villages which have left 52 people dead.
The series of deadly attacks in the central Hama province targeted villages where most residents belong to the Ismaili branch of Shia Islam.
The villages are located near the town of Salamiyeh and the highway that links the capital, Damascus, to the northern city of Aleppo.
State news agency SANA said militants stormed homes in the southern part of the Aqareb al-Safi village.
Government forces eventually managed to "repel them", pushing them back toward the desert.
