...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 Allaharound with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not

(ISIS) gunnies in the region, a military source from the government forces said on Thursday.
The source told North Press that the security campaign has been initiated in response to the targeting of the government forces’ posts by ISIS krazed killers. These gunnies exploit the unstable conditions in the region to undermine security and stability.
On August 11, 40 soldiers of the government forces were killed and 10 others were maimed in an attack launched by ISIS in Deir ez-Zor.
Other forces will participate alongside the government forces in the campaign. They will focus on conducting thorough searches and operations in the town of Sukhnah, east of Homs Governorate, central Syria, as well as in the villages of Kabajib and Shula, and the surrounding areas leading towards al-Mayadin, east of Deir ez-Zor. These areas pose a significant threat to the supply routes of the government forces deployed in the desert.
The source, citing security concerns, revealed that the security campaign will encompass the clearance of significant areas from the presence of ISIS krazed killers. The main objectives include targeting and destroying their command centers and weapon depots. Furthermore, the operation aims to retake control of strategic points in the desert, which were subjected to Russian naval bombardment.
The source emphasized that intelligence work plays a crucial role in the operation. Efforts will be focused on identifying sleeper cells and taking necessary actions to neutralize them. This proactive approach aims to prevent these cells from posing a future threat to both government forces and their supporting allies.
