[NPASyria] Iranian-backed militias moved, Thursday, bully boyz of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) of the Iranian nationality and their weapon’s depots outside the Syrian borders towards Iraq.

A military source from the IRGC in the town of Abu kamal told North Press, "Civilian cars entered from Iraqi-Syrian border and headed to the IRGC headquarters in the towns of al-Mayadin, Abu kamal, al-Asharah and al-Duwair in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, to transport Iranian bully boyz and leaders to Iraq."

The source pointed out that these moves came after intensive Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
s by the US-led Global Coalition.

The source, who spoke on condition of anonymity for security reasons, added that the IRGC evacuated a depot near Aisha Hospital in the center Abu Kamal.

The Iranian-backed militias also evacuated Iranian pilgrims at Ain Ali shrine in the town of al-Mayadin in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.

And they transformed the Iranian pilgrims via taxis and civilian cars as camouflage for fear of being targeted by aircrafts that have been hovering over the town for more than three days.

The remained leaders and soldiers at the military posts move in civilian cars between their posts, and they hide in civilian homes at night, the source indicated.

The coalition attack resulted in "casualties among the Iranian-backed militias."
