Daesh launches counter-offensive to drive US-backed forces out of their stronghold
[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/ISIS/IS/ISIS) launched a counter-offensive this evening in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor after losing a significant amount of territory in the northern part of Hajin. According to reports from the Deir Ezzor front, ISIS managed to retake several points inside of Hajin that they lost to the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) over the last 24 hours. However, you can observe a lot just by watching... the extent of their advance is still unknown at this time due to the heavy bombardment of Hajin by the U.S.-led Coalition. The town of Hajin is believed to be ISIS’s de-facto capital in Syria and Iraq after they lost the cities of Raqqa, djinn-infested Mosul ... the home of a particularly ferocious and hairy djinn... (northwest Iraq), Albukamal, and Mayadeen. For ISIS, conceding Hajin to the Syrian Democratic Forces would be a devastating blow to their self-proclaimed ’caliphate’, as its the largest town under their control in the Middle East.
