ISIS launches massive offensive in Deir Ezzor
2018-03-29
[ALMASDARNEWS] The so-called 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) has launched a massive offensive in the countryside of the
Deir Ezzor Governorate, today, targeting the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions near the key town of al-Mayadeen.

ISIS launched this new offensive in order to take advantage of the large dust storm that is sweeping through eastern Syria at the moment.

No gains have been reported.

According to a military report from this front, ISIS began today’s assault by detonating a boom-mobile in the southwestern countryside of al-Mayadeen; this would result in a series of intense festivities that are still ongoing.

Tonight’s attack by ISIS is considered their largest assault against the Syrian Army since their brief counter-offensive after losing al-Sukhnah.
