Syrian Army foils one of the largest ISIS assaults ever on Deir Ezzor Airbase
2017-05-26
[ALMASDARNEWS] Last night, hundreds of 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....
 bandidos Lion of Islams began a series of attacks across government-held districts of Deir Ezzor and its isolated airbase, located south of the historic provincial capital.

With most of the assault centered around the eastern perimeter of Deir Ezzor Airbase and the al-Huwyqah neighborhood, the SAA was able to hold its ground despite facing one of the largest attacks this year which continued non-stop for some 10 hours.

During the lengthy overnight festivities, ground units of the SAA used anti-tank missiles to destroy two Islamic State BMP-1 armored vehicles, one on the al-Malha street and the other in the embattled Huwyqah suburb.

Heaps of ISIS bandidos Lion of Islams were killed during the failed assault although the corpses were too many to properly count. Around 10,000 jihadists faceless myrmidons have been killed by the SAA’s garrison in Deir Ezzor since 2012.

Upon intel receiving from spies living in ISIS-held residential areas of the city, the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) targeted a jihadist operations room in the al-Ardi district where many ISIS commanders may have been killed by an air raid on Thursday morning.

SAA artillery units also heavily shelled ISIS supply lines and gathering points across rearguard positions, striking bandidos Lion of Islams at the al-Matar district, al-Arfi district, Panorama bridge, al-Baghiliyah town, the cemetery area, west of the al-Sannouf hill and on the eastern axis of Deir Ezzor Airbase.

ISIS also pounded government-held neighborhoods of Deir Ezzor city with missiles, killing two civilians and injuring at least ten non-combattants according to local media.
