Daesh terrorists kill 60 US-backed SDF militants in Syria’s Dayr al-Zawr

[PRESSTV] Dozens of US-backed gunnies from the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have been killed after members of the ISIS Takfiri
...an adherent of takfir wal hijra, an offshoot of Salafism that regards everybody who doesn't agree with them as apostates who must be killed...
terrorist group launched a surprise attack on them in Syria’s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr near the border with Iraq.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Saturday that ISIS snuffies had dispatched a group of bombers as part of a counter-attack against SDF myrmidons, killing at least 60 and wounding more than 100 of them overnight.

ISIS, in a statement published on the Telegram messaging application, said it had attacked the village of al-Sousa late on Friday, and detonated a boom-mobile near the village of al-Bagouz further south.

On September 15, the SDF said its fighters had stormed Bagouz and were close to the center of the village.

The forces added that they planned to open another front in Sousa area along the Euphrates River to build up pressure on the bad boys.

The development came only a day after at least 20 SDF gunnies were killed in a ISIS ambush around the town of Hajin in Dayr al-Zawr province.
I begin to suspect the writer meant Deir Ezzor, as it is spelt around here.

#1  this was from PRESSTV so I wasn't sure it was accurate

but there are confirmations from other sources also the dead are probably not all combatants

also, Islamic State seemingly used a large number of coordinated suicide bombers in their counterattack
