was killed and two others were maimed by unknown assailants in a town east of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.

A military source from Liwa Fatemiyoun in the town of al-Asharah, 60 kilometers east of Deir ez-Zor, said, "Unknown gunnies, riding a cycle of violence, targeted with gunshots forces of Evil of Liwa Fatemiyoun near their headquarters as they were guarding the Iranian hospital in al-Asharah."

The source, which preferred to remain anonymous for security reasons, told North Press that the attack resulted in the killing of the local Death Eater of Liwa Fatemiyoun Ziyada, 29, who hails from the town of Hatlah in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, and the wounding of two others.

The source added that the two maimed forces of Evil were transferred to the Iranian hospital, and they were in a critical health condition, according to a doctor operating in the hospital.

The source noted that this is the first operation in this neighborhood, which is subjected to strict guarding due to the presence of key headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), to be launched against the Iranian-backed forces of Evil in two years.

Following the attack, Liwa Fatemiyoun brought in patrols to cordon the neighborhood with the aim to pursue the attackers.

Iranian-backed militias and the government forces control large areas of the Syrian Desert and the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, which constitutes a source of concern as it witnesses intensive operations by Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) sleeper cells.
