2022-02-02


Three members, including a leader of Iranian-backed factions, were killed on Tuesday in an ISIS attack on their car west of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

ISIS members attacked a Toyota car of al-Quds Brigade faction on the outskirts of al-Masrab desert, North Press reported a military source from al-Quds Brigade which is affiliated with Iran.

Three members, including the leader, Abu Diab, who was deputy commander of a regiment and was Paleostinian, were killed in the attack, the source added.

The source, citing sheep shepherds who were close to the targeting site, confirmed that two Death Eaters wearing ISIS dress and riding a cycle of violence fired a BKS weapon at the car and fled towards the depths of the desert, while chanting ISIS slogans.

Recently, the areas under the control of the Iranian-backed factions and the government forces in Deir ez-Zor have witnessed a significant increase in the activity of ISIS cells.

On January 29, four members of the Syrian government forces were killed in an attack on their point in the town of al-Mayadin, east of Deir ez-Zor.
