ISIS on last legs in east Deir Ezzor as they retreat to Hasakah desert
[ALMASDARNEWS] The 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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not reallyMoslems.... (ISIS) is on the verge of defeat in the Deir Ezzor Governorate after losing several areas at the hands of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). Backed by US and French  s, the SDF scored a major advance in eastern Deir Ezzor last week, seizing several towns from the Islamic State bully boyz near the Iraqi border.Among the areas captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces last week were the towns of al-Ismail, al-Aqra, Bir Mazal, Bir Dahamad, al-Jarjari, al-Halluni, al-Bujari, Abud al-Jadan, al-Khinzir, Bir Zuqum, Bir Umm Ghurba, Qarat al-Moutab, Umm al-Rus, Sabkhat al-Sahil and Khasham. These aforementioned towns were captured by the Syrian Democratic Forces in the matter of 72 hours, local activists reported. The Syrian Democratic Forces have now reached the desert area of al-Hasakah, which is where the Islamic State bully boyz are expected to make their last stand in the coming days.
