The militiamen of the Islamic State, pressed by the SDF of Jazeera Storm, attack again the SAA at Abu Kamal. At Yarmouk they cover their traces after the evacuation.
Different local sources have revealed that there are two “Islamic State”. One is made up of immigrants mainly from the Maghreb and the other one by local militiamen. They do not always share their views.
The Isis militiamen, under pressure from the SDF at east of the Euphrates, are pushing towards Mayadeen to recreate the Wilayat al-Khayr. Moreover they still control Al-Yarmouk and part of Abu Kamal.
The Isis militants try to regain the "Wilayat al-Khayr", taking advantage of the weakness of the army of Damascus. Meanwhile, Iraq bombards the Islamic State along the border.
The Kurdish led forces, as well as securing the north and east of the province, are also containing Isis at Hajin and Dashisha, on the border with Iraq. The Coalition supports them from above.
The Kurdish led forces head for the province to launch yet a new Cizire Storm against the Islamic State. Meanwhile, the US-led Coalition bombards Abu Kamal.
The Kurdish troops go back to the province after the defeat of Olive Branch at Afrin. How will their new operation against the Islamic State be? Meanwhile in eastern Ghouta Douma is evacuated.
The aim of Cizire Storm is to isolate the Daesh militants in the city of Deir Ezzor. Meanwhile Damascus continues the offensive on Ghouta despite UN resolution.
In the past hours Daesh jihadists have surrendered together with their families to Cizire Storm in the area of Hajihn. Other members of Isis, instead, have fled.
Cizire Storm, also thanks to the International Coalition, reconquers the city and now plans to defeat Daesh at Hajin and Sha'fah. A huge blow for the Islamic State.
