Nothing says "Happy Easter" like the bombing of a church, but that's just what ISIS militants did in Syria this past Sunday.

According to the Daily Caller, The church was built in 1934 and is considered “one of the three main churches in Tel Nasri village,” according to SANA. The Assyrian Human Rights Network reported the Islamic State has controlled the town since early March and stationed fighters inside the church. Militants planted explosives in the area in order to deter the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) and the Syriac Military Council, a Christian force, from entering the village.
