The people are feared kidnapped, AFP reported, citing local residents and a factory administrator who said 250 employees have been unreachable since Monday following an attack by Islamic State (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) militants.
“We haven’t been able to reach our family members since noon on Monday after an attack by Daesh [Arabic pejorative term for IS] on the factory. We have no information about where they are,” a resident of the town of Dmeir said on Thursday.
The Badiyah cement factory is located outside Dmeir, about 50km to the east of the capital Damascus.
A Syrian security source told AFP that IS forces had also attempted to take control of Dmeir airbase and a power plant, but had failed.
Earlier on Tuesday, IS fighters started attacks against government forces in areas near Damascus, allegedly attempting to gain back territories after suffering losses across Syria.
In particular, IS attacked the Tishrin power station, located 50km from the capital. A Syrian military source confirmed to Reuters that the attack took place, adding that all the assailants were killed.
