IRGC reinforces posts in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor
[NPASyria] Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has reinforced its headquarters and established new ones in Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.

This came following recent and ongoing attacks by unknown button men on the IRGC’s headquarters and affiliated militias, with accusations pointing towards the Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS).

The IRGC established three new headquarters and protection posts today in Abu Kamal area and two posts on the Syrian-Iraqi border, a hard boy of the IRGC in Deir ez-Zor said on Friday.

The IRGC established two headquarters and five posts two days ago on the outskirts of al-Mayadin and its countryside in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, equipped with surveillance cameras, the unnamed hard boy added.

He emphasized that the IRGC strengthened its posts with snuffies of foreign nationalities and advanced weapons, and created fortifications and trenches for the headquarters and posts.

This operation was to reinforce and support the bases after several attacks on the headquarters by button men believed to be affiliated with ISIS, resulting in significant human and material losses of the IRGC.

On the context of events ongoing in Deir ez-Zor, two soldiers of the Syrian government forces were killed in the past 24 hours in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.

A soldier of the government forces in Deir ez-Zor said unidentified button men riding a cycle of violence targeted Hassan Badr, 32, a member of the Military Security Branch working in the Archive and Military Records Department, with silenced pistol shots as he left his workplace on the main road in the town of Shumaytiyah, west of Deir ez-Zor.

In the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, and after Friday Prayers, unidentified armed individuals attacked a Military Security patrol near al-Arba’in Street in the city center of al-Mayadin, resulting in the killing of the soldier Ali al-Sarah, 30, and causing material damage to the patrol’s vehicles, meanwhile the attackers fled the city.
