Deir Ezzor tribes fight back against ISIS: Aisha Hospital captured

Local tribal fighters carried out a powerful assault on the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s (ISIS) positions at their main headquarters inside the city of Albukamal near the Iraqi border-crossing into the Al-‘Anbar Governorate.

According to government sources that remain in contact with the Sheitat Tribesmen, the tribal fighters established full control over the ‘Aisha National Hospital after a violent battle with the ISIS terrorists who converted this medical facility into a military base.

The source added that the local tribal fighters also carried out several attacks around the ‘Aisha Hospital’s large neighborhoods, while Russian fighter jets provided the necessary back-up to crush ISIS’ resistance against the Deir Ezzor popular committees inside the city of Albukamal.
