ISIS Resumes Counter Attacks East of Euphrates
ISIS has renewed its counter offensive by the
eastern banks of the Euphrates River through its remaining suicide attackers.
The latest round of bombings has left 34 ISIS
members and Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) fighters dead.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights documented
the death of 19 ISIS terrorists and four more suicide bombers. At least 11 SDF
fighters were killed in the attacks.
The latest figures bring the total ISIS casualties
killed in air strikes and fighting to 1,273, while the SDF lost 669 members
since September 10.
The Observatory documented 401 civilian deaths,
including 144 children and 86 women from Syria. They were killed in bombardment
of an ISIS pocket.
In addition, the Observatory monitored the entry of
35 truck transporting people from ISIS-held regions to safety. Even more trucks
are expected in the future given US-led coalition strikes on the area.
It noted that bombardment overnight Saturday was the
fiercest in some two weeks.
It also said that since December, some 30,600 people
had fled ISIS pockets.
The terrorist group has meanwhile executed more than
713 captives, who were arrested on various charges, added the Observatory.
