Syria: Popular Uprising against Terrorists Starts in Southeastern Deir Ezzur

Local sources in the town of Albu Kamal reported that a group of young men have burned 2 ISIL vehicles and a bus in the town and killed one of the terrorists.

The development came a day after three other terrorists were killed and their car was burned at the hands of locals of al-Kataf area on the outskirts of Albu Kamal.

The sources also announced that a state of turmoil and confusion still prevails among ISIL terrorists, where clashes erupted among ISIL groups in the area of al-Souar, which led to the injury of ISIL commanders, including Abu Mosaab al-Falastini and Abu Omar al-Australi.

In the meantime, the Russian and Syrian fighter jets intensified air raids on ISIL’s strongholds as army ground troops are advancing towards the last stronghold of ISIL in Eastern Homs that is considered as a gate to Deir Ezzur province.

In early May, a large number of people in the town of Albu Kamal along the Euphrates River attacked one of the checkpoints of ISIL Hasaba (security-monitoring) forces, setting fire at two of their vehicles.

Relevant reports said on Friday that the army soldiers, backed up by the country’s fighter jets, started clashes with the ISIL in Panorama square and managed to fend off their heavy attack.

The ISIL suffered heavy casualties and its military hardware sustained major damage in the failed attack.

Local sources said that the army aircraft carried out several combat flights over ISIL’s movements in Panorama region to back up the ground troops.
