Daesh suffers devastating defeat as Syrian Army liberates entire Al-Safa region
2018-11-20
[AlMasdar] (11:00 P.M.) ‐ The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) was finally able to upend the remaining 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/ISIS/IS/ISIS) turbans in the al-Safa region of southern Syria on Monday.

Led by their 3rd Corps and 4th Armored Division, the Syrian Arab Army stormed ISIS’s last positions in western al-Safa on Monday morning.

This powerful attack by the Syrian Arab Army would result in ISIS’s full capitulation in southern Syria.

According to a military source in Sweida city, the remaining ISIS turbans in western al-Safa agreed to surrender their last positions after suffering heavy casualties over the last three days.

The source added that some of the ISIS turbans managed to evade capture by fleeing to the Badiya al-Sham region of eastern Homs.

With ISIS’s defeat in al-Safa, the Syrian Arab Army is now in full control of southern Syria for the first time since 2011.

#2  Remember MM, for Assad (and Yippy) 'Daesh' can denote Kurds or other western-aligned groups.

#1  I keep reading that when ISIS - or whoever - is routed in a given place, the US "relocates them." WTF?
