IS raids in Al-Taym and Hama. The clashes ended thanks to the intervention of Russia. Meanwhile, the SDF intensify the fight against pro-Islamic State smuggling.
The SDF arrest a trafficker with 18,000 pills for IS militiamen from Badia to Deir Ezzor. Covid-19 has increased its use among jihadists, even with deception.
The Coalition provided the ISF with observation towers and thermal cameras. West of Deir Ezzor IS changes strategy after the arrival of Russian soldiers.
The soldiers failed to counter IS ambushes between Deir Ezzor-Homs. For Turkey 2 new problems in the north: the US and the Ansar Abu Bakr al-Siddiq Brigade.
Groups linked to Tehran will vigilate the Deir Ezzor-Palmira highway, releasing forces against IS. The road is strategic for moving quickly to Damascus.
In Badia the war between the soldiers and the jihadists continues. IS, meanwhile, is trying to raise funds by extorting shepherds with the zakat excuse.
In recent days, at least two tribal leaders have been hit by jihadists. IS seeks revenge against SDF-Inherent Resolve and wants to fuel chaos to catch its breath.
