The death toll from the most recent rocket strikes from Syria on the southeastern province of Kilis has risen to two following an incident late April 24.

Fadil Emin, a Syrian national aged 23, succumbed to injuries on April 25, raising the death toll in rocket attacks from Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)-controlled areas of northern Syria to 17 since January.

In the latest incident, two Katyusha projectiles fired from Syria hit a mosque, just 100 meters from the Kilis Governor’s Office on April 24.

Fatma Demir, 36, was killed in the incident while another 10 were wounded.

Earlier in the day, a total of 16 people, including children, were wounded when another two rockets fired from ISIL positions in northern Syria hit the province.
