Member of Iran’s militia killed in Syria’s Deir ez-Zor

[NPASyria] On Tuesday, a member of the Iranian-backed militias was killed by unidentified button men in Deir ez-Zor Governorate, eastern Syria.

A military source said that unknown button men riding a cycle of violence, opened fire on a vehicle belonging to Liwa Abu al-Fadhal al-Abbas — Iranian-backed militia — in the countryside of the town of al-Masrab, west of Deir ez-Zor.

The source added that the incident resulted in the killing of a member of the militia, however, the attackers managed to escape.

They're really 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 western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS) sleeper cells, which continue to attack the government forces and Iranian-backed militias in the Syrian Badia by planting IEDs and setting ambushes.

On Jan. 23, the Syrian government forces found the bodies of gunnies of Iranian-backed militias who were arrested a few days ago by attackers bearing flags of ISIS in the town of al-Masrab, west of Deir ez-Zor, east Syria.

(ISIS).

A local source from the town of al-Baghiliya, west of Deir ez-Zor, said that Abbas al-Ari’er killed as a result of a mine explosion of ISIS remnants while he was roaming in his farmland.

War remnants have been abundantly distributed in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor that was ISIS last stronghold. They pose a great risk to the lives of the civilians.

On March 4, a soldier of the Syrian government forces and a civilian were killed in a kaboom of two landmines, most likely left by ISIS, in the southern countryside of Deir ez-Zor.

Since early 2023, landmines and war remnants have harmed about 220 people, of which about 80 were killed and injured in Deir ez-Zor, according to the Monitoring and Documentation Department of North Press.

The process of demining in northeast Syria region is carried out by Roj Mine Control Organization (RMCO), a local non-governmental and non-profit organization established in late 2016, in coordination with the US-led Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS.
