ISIS launches surprise attack against Syrian Army in east Deir Ezzor
2018-10-12
[ALMASDARNEWS] The so-called "Islamic State
...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/ISIS/IS/ISIS) launched a surprise attack in the eastern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governorate tonight.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Islamic State attacked the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions along the western bank of the Euphrates near the cities of Hasarat and al-Mayadeen.

However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
despite their best efforts to infiltrate the Syrian Arab Army’s defenses, the Islamic State was ultimately forced to withdraw across the Euphrates River after they were spotted by the government forces.

During the brief battle, the Syrian Arab Army suffered at least a half dozen casualties, while killing more than ten Islamic State faceless myrmidons in the process.

This failed infiltration attempt by the Islamic State comes just hours after their forces lost more territory to the Syrian Arab Army in the al-Safa region of southern Syria.

#2  My question also. It's not like they have triple canopy overhead cover under which to maneuver.
