US choppers evacuate Daesh commanders from Syria’s Dayr al-Zawr: Report
2017-12-30
[PRESSTV] US helicopters have reportedly evacuated commanders of the ISIS Takfiri

terrorist group from Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr to the neighboring province of Hasakah.

Syria's official news agency, SANA, citing information received from local residents, reported on Friday that the American helicopters had evacuated ISIS commanders from several districts of Dayr al-Zawr province on Wednesday, adding that this was the second time the US military evacuated ISIS terrorists.

Earlier this week, the Syrian government sent a message to the United Nations

, accusing the US-led coalition of reaching deals with ISIS and coordinating its actions with the terror group’s commanders.

The US-led coalition of 68 countries claims to have been conducting Arclight airstrikes against what are said to be ISIS targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate. Such air raids began in Iraq in August of the same year.

The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of fulfilling its declared aim of destroying ISIS, which has already lost all of its urban strongholds in Syria and is just in control of some small pockets of land in the Middle Eastern country.
