2017-08-05
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) retook the initiative in the eastern countryside of the Salamiyah District, Friday, after losing several points to 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.

(ISIS) terror organization near the town of al-Mafkar.

Led by the 11th Tank Division and National Defense Forces (NDF), the Syrian military managed to inflict heavy damage on the Islamic State’s positions near al-Mafkar, forcing the aforementioned terrorist group to withdraw from the town’s perimeter.

With all points recaptured, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies began a cleansing operation to secure al-Mafkar and eliminate any lurking terrorist combatants still hanging around the area.
