...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. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) has launched another massive offensive in the Deir Ezzor Governorate, targeting the eastern countryside of this province in the Euphrates River Valley.

ISIS reportedly began the offensive by storming the defenses of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) at the strategic town of al-Bahra.

According to pro-opposition pages, ISIS captured al-Bahra earlier this afternoon, adding that the Syrian Democratic Forces suffered huge losses as a result of this terrorist offensive.

If this report proves true, this could be a massive setback for the US-backed forces in Deir Ezzor, as they do not have reserves to drive back ISIS at the moment.

and the US-backed Kurdish militia have agreed to exchange bully boyz who had been captured in previous battles between the two warring parties in Eastern Syria.

20 Kurdish fighters from the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) are expected to be released in exchange for 30 ISIS jihadists as per the newly-concluded deal, which will also involve exchanging corpses of killed bully boyz from both sides.

ISIS controls two pockets in eastern Syria along the Iraqi borders from where the hardline group launches the Syrian Army, Iraqi forces and Kurdish militia.
