| [ALMASDARNEWS] Amid an ongoing Islamic State ...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... offensive in the east Syrian province of Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Army and allied paramilitary forces have endured their worst day of festivities with the terrorist group throughout the region since the start of 2018. ISIS launched it offensive on the night of Saturday to Sunday, at first targeting the strategic T-2 military airport. This was latter followed up with attacks on and between the government-controlled Euphrates cities of al-Mayadeen and Abu Kamal. Within the first several hours of battle, both sides endured dozens killed ‐ almost to the effect of 100 dead in total. By now, the combined corpse count has undoubtedly increased to beyond one hundred and perhaps now closer to 200. At the present time its appears that Islamic State forces have not been able overrun either the T-2 military airport or any key positions around the cities of al-Mayadeen and Abu Kamal. The terrorist offensive has been launched out of a vast area of uncleared desert countryside in western Deir Ezzor province thought initially to only have 200 fighters inside it; now it is clear that closer to one thousand faceless myrmidons would be a better guess. |

| #1 Coincidence that the Turks are pushing further into Syria and providing support to various anti-government pro-Islamist factions? I think not. |
