Daesh goes crazy with suicide attacks as they struggle to hold east Syria 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 Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) is doing everything they can to hold onto their last Euphrates stronghold, Hajin, which is currently under heavy attack by the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
"Here, you mens! Go blow yerselves up to stop the infidel attacks!"
"Right, chief! Let's go, boyz!... Boyz?"

With intense festivities taking place within close quarters, ISIS has begun using jacket wallahs to inflict heavy losses in the ranks of the SDF.

On Wednesday alone, ISIS conducted at least a half dozen suicide kabooms, with reportedly hitting the positions of the Syrian Democratic Forces inside Hajin.

While ISIS claims many SDF fighters were killed, the corpse count still remains unknown at this time.

These large-scale suicide attacks have been used by ISIS in several previous battles against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), SDF, and Iraqi Armed Forces.

The terrorist attacks often forestall the enemy forces, which, in ISIS’s case, is incredibly important because the Ottoman Turkish military is preparing to invade northern Syria.

Should The Sick Man of Europe Turkey
...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire....
begin their assault before Hajin is captured, ISIS will likely survive this battle because the SDF will have to redeploy forces to northern Syria.
