A Syrian journalist who opposed ISIS was in intensive care Sunday after being shot in the head by a masked gunman in southern Turkey, AFP reports.
Mohammed Zaher al-Shurqat was walking down a street in the southern Turkish city of Gaziantep close to the Syrian border when he was targeted by the gunman, the Dogan and Anatolia news agencies reported.
El-Shurqat worked for a channel called Aleppo Today TV which is strongly opposed to ISIS jihadists who have taken control of much of Syria's northern Aleppo province.
He was immediately hospitalized and is in intensive care, the Turkish reports said, without giving further details.
