ISIS terrorists breaking out of jails in Syria
The terrorist Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) intensified its operations during the Islamic month of Ramadan.
The
organization's sleeper cells took orders via social media to reappear and carry
out attacks, especially in the areas lost by ISIS in the past months and years.
ISIS
cells carried out over 43 attacks against the Syria army and Syrian Democratic
Forces (QSD).
Most
of the attacks were carried out in central Syria and in the eastern part of the
country.
These
attacks come as the U.S.-led coalition against ISIS says it will maintain its
campaign against the terrorist organization in Syria and Iraq to prevent it
from reemerging.
The
coalition carried out an offensive against ISIS recently in cooperation with
QSD in the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zur. The operation left two ISIS
commanders, including one who worked as the emir of northern Iraq, dead. The
other commander was responsible for logistical support inside the organization.
Continued terrorism
The Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights said the attacks carried out by ISIS in the past period ranged between
bomb attacks and attacks against security and army posts in the aforementioned
areas.
ISIS staged 11 attacks in areas
controlled by the Syrian army, the observatory said.
It added that the organization also
carried out attacks in areas controlled by QSD.
ISIS also carried out a series of
executions in the areas it controls in Syria, the observatory said.
Jailbreak
ISIS
also broke one of the jails controlled by QSD in the eastern Syrian city of Ar
Raqqah.
This
came days after the U.S.-led coalition trained QSD troops in guarding the
prisons.
ISIS
prisoners tried to break out of QSD jails in northern Syria several times in
the past.
The
media office of QSD said ISIS militants had staged an attack on parts of the
central Tabaqa prison.
Seven
attackers were killed during the attack and several others were injured.
