Desperate ISIS terrorists use suicide attacks in eastern Euphrates counter-offensive
2019-01-26
[ALMASDARNEWS] The 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 desperate counter-offensive in the eastern region of the Euphrates River Valley last night after a string of losses at the hands of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

Using suicide kabooms to crack the Syrian Democratic Forces’ lines near Baghouz Fouqani, the Islamic State allegedly captured the town after heavy fighting last night.

However,
women are made to be loved, not understood...
it should be noted that the Syrian Democratic Forces have denied losing the town to the terrorist group.

The Islamic State often uses these desperate suicide tactics when they are besieged and short on provisions (e.g. al-Safa battle).

ISIS is trying to regain the towns they lost to the Syrian Democratic Forces around Murshida; however, it appears that their momentum from last night has run out, thanks in large part to the U.S. Coalition warplanes that have been hammering their last positions in the Euphrates River Valley.
