ISIS is taking responsibility for a series of terror attacks in Syria that killed more than 100 people and wounded at least 200 others.

Multiple bombings and a car explosion ripped through the Syrian capital of Damascus at the peak of rush hour.

Just an hour before, in the Syrian city of Homs, more than 50 people were murdered in similar bombings.

The attacks took place in areas dominated by Shia and Alawite Muslims, who are hated by the Sunni radicals of ISIS.

The attacks followed Secretary of State John Kerry's earlier announcement that a "provisional ceasefire" had been reached between rebel and government fighters.
