Deir Ezzor: Iraqi paramilitaries reinforce border and target ISIS, Kurds redeploy from Raqqa, US coalition evacuates ISIS turbans

Iraqi forces reinforce entire Deir Ezzor border region (video)

[AlMasdar] Iraq’s Hashd Al-Sha’abi forces (var. Popular Mobilization Units) have reinforced the entire Deir Ezzor border region after the so-called “Islamic State” (var. ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) recaptured several areas inside the province.

According to the official media wing of Hashd Al-Sha’abi, the Iraqi forces have reinforced the border region in a bid to protect the area from Daesh’s attempted expansion.

The Hashd Al-Sha’abi troops have already begun heavily targeting Daesh’s positions in the Deir Ezzor Governorate, as the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) attempt to regroup and retake the areas they lost.

US-backed SDF deploys Asayish forces to Deir Ezzor

[AlMasdar] The U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have deployed their interior police units to the Deir Ezzor Governorate, pro-SDF activists reported on Tuesday.

According to the activists, the Asayish forces were redeployed from Raqqa city to the eastern countryside of the Deir Ezzor Governorate.

The alleged reason for deploying these police forces to eastern Deir Ezzor was due to the recent advances by the so-called “Islamic State” (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) near the Iraqi border.

Daesh was able to seize several towns from the Syrian Democratic Forces over the past two weeks, forcing the latter to retreat to the Iraqi border in order to avoid being overrun by the terrorist group.
