To break prison siege in Hasakah, ISIS attacks SDF in Deir ez Zor


On Tuesday, ISIS, through media close to it, claimed the responsibility of targeting sites and military patrol of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) in the town of Diban, 50 km east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

The ISIS Amaq News published a statement saying that ISIS members targeted an SDF military point in the town of Diban in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor with machine guns and rocket propelled grenades which led to its damage.

"A patrol was providing support to the SDF military point, but ISIS members targeted it with automatic weapons, which led to the injury of a number of them," it added on its website.

The SDF thwarted an ISIS armed attack on a military post and patrol of its forces in al-Latwa neighborhood in the town of Diban, a military source from the SDF told North Press yesterday.

The SDF fighters clashed, for more than half an hour, with the ISIS members and forced them to withdraw and hide among civilians’ homes. However,
Caliphornia hasn't yet slid into the ocean, no matter how hard it's tried...
 no SDF casualties were recorded, according to the source.

The attacks in Deir ez-Zor coincide with the ongoing besiege by the SDF of ISIS members in al-Sina’a prison and pursuing its sleeper cells in its vicinity.

Yesterday, ISIS escalated many of its attacks against SDF in areas in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, where the organization targeted 5 military checkpoints of the SDF.
