ISIS kills seven pro-regime fighters in Syria: Monitor

[Rudaw] At least seven pro-regime fighters were killed in Syria on Friday when 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) button men launched an attack on their positions near the Iraqi border, a war monitor reported.

ISIS "launched a ~~violent~~ mostly peaceful attack targeting positions of regime forces and their proxy militias ... in al-Bukamal countryside in Deir ez-Zor," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), a Britannia-based war monitor.

"The attack left seven soldiers and turbans dead," it added.

The holy warrior group has been blamed for a string of attacks against Syrian regime forces throughout the year.

In early November, a deadly ISIS attack in the Syrian desert claimed the lives of 34 pro-regime fighters and army soldiers.

In August, an ISIS attack on Syrian army soldiers in the eastern Deir ez-Zor province killed 33, days after ten Syrian soldiers were killed in another ISIS attack in their former stronghold of Raqqa.

According to SOHR, at least 385 members of pro-regime forces and 165 civilians have been killed in ISIS attacks since January.

Syria’s civil war, that broke out in 2011 after the government’s brutal crackdown on protests, erupted into multiple fronts with the emergence of ISIS, fighting between Kurdish forces and ~~The Sick Man of Europe~~ Turkey
...the occupiers of Greek Asia Minor...
and its proxies, Israeli strikes on pro-Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate ~~Jews~~ ~~Zionists~~ Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
factions, and tit-for-tat attacks between the US and Iranian proxies. Russia has backed the Syrian government, while about a thousand US troops are stationed in Syria to train and assist in the fight against ISIS.
