| 2021-05-25 |
| [NPASYRIA] On Monday, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) found a weapon depot of ISIS in an underground tunnel in a town east of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria. A military sources of the SDF from the town of Daranj, 70 km east of Deir ez-Zor told North Press that a military engineering division raided a weapon warehouse where it found a set of weapons, following investigating and collecting intelligence information. The depot included more than 30 shoulder-loaded BGM-71 TOW rockets and more than 8 IEDs with dozens of grenades and home-made mines. The source indicated that ISIS had hidden these weapons to prevent them from being damaged and to use them later. Two months ago, ISIS targeted a military vehicle of the SDF with a BGM-71 TOW rocket in the town of Dhiban, 55 km east of Deir ez-Zor, according to the source. ISIS was trying to keep this type of weapons, as it had planned to revive itself in the regions of northeast Syria, before its elimination in March 2019. The operation to find the hideout of BGM-71 TOW missiles comes as part of the continuous efforts of combating terrorism and its sleeper cells "which are trying to hit the security of the region and reorganize its ranks." The eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor is considered the last stronghold of ISIS, where it had moved all its equipment and weapons there. Three months ago, the SDF found a depot for heavy military ammunition in the desert of al-Rawda, 100 km west of Omar oil field, east of Deir ez-Zor. |
