They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more.

’s (ISIS) positions at several sites.

Flying out of the Shay’rat Airbase in Homs, the Syrian Air Force began the day by targeting the Islamic State’s positions in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor, hitting Islamic State targets in al-Hawiqah, al-Kanamat, Panorama area, and Jabal Thardeh.

Following the Arclight airstrikes in Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Air Force targeted Islamic State positions near the gas rich city of Sukhnah, paving the way for another Syrian Army attack along the Homs-Ezzor Highway.

With the battle with Raqqa City taking a turn for the worse, the Islamic State continues to move fighters into Deir Ezzor, as this province has become their new capital inside Syria.
