Deir Ezzor Province – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: a violent explosion rocked an area in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor, caused by detonating a booby trapped motorcycle, at the time when a vehicle of the Syria Democratic Forces passed, in Al-Sa’wa village, which resulted in the death of a member and the injury of at least 2 other members, and the sources suggested to the Syrian Observatory that the bombing comes as a part of the operations of ISIS revenge, which it announced about few days ago in the countryside of Deir Ezzor province and the east of the Euphrates, while the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published today morning, Tuesday the 28th of August 2018, that it monitored the Syria Democratic Forces on an alert situation, in al-Busayrah area east of Euphrates in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, where reliable sources confirmed that the alert comes within the framework of preparations for a meeting between local councils and elders from the area and between American officials visiting the town, where this visit comes in conjunction with the continues preparations for the launch of military operation by the International Coalition Forces and the Syria Democratic Forces, against the final enclave of ISIS east of Euphrates river, where the Coalition had moved one of their mobile bases to a place near Hajin area within this ISIS enclave, in preparation for the start of the military operation of the International Coalition Forces and the Syria Democratic Forces against ISIS, to end its presence in the entire east of Euphrates River, where the organization is no longer a dominant force  except in the enclave located on the east bank of the river, which includes 4 towns: Hajin, al-Susah, al-Shafa, and al-Baghuz, where these preparations come after the Syria Democratic Forces and the Forces of the International Coalition increased their points of presence in the vicinity of this enclave.

This new move comes in the wake of massive military mobilization, and bringing military reinforcements of hundreds of soldiers and hundreds of vehicles, armored vehicles, machines, and ammunitions, to completely end the presence of the Organization, following repeated failures in breaking in the enclave, as a result of the violent repelling of the attack by the Organization which is in control of this enclave, while the International Coalition had frequently dropped leaflets on areas controlled by the organization, calling civilians to displace and ISIS members to surrender, and after al-Sha’fa crossing was opened and the entry of aid and foodstuffs into ISIS enclave, and the displacement of tens of families of ISIS members, where the non-Syrians were relocated to camps under the control of the Syria Democratic Forces, while the Syrian families were allowed to go out towards other areas of Deir Ezzor Province, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights also published on the 11th of July 2018 that the Syrian Observatory that the French Forces in particular have obtained incomplete information about a tunnel for the organization in Hajin area, which is about 8 km long and the cars and vehicles can go through it, where the French Forces are trying to get full information about the tunnel and its location, so that the International Coalition can start the military operation, the SOHR also obtained information from reliable sources reported that there are more than 65 first-rank commanders of the “Islamic State” organization in Hajin town in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, the majority of them are of Iraqi nationality in addition to foreign nationalities, and the sources have also reported to the Syrian Observatory that there are more than 800 detainees of the “Islamic State” organization in Hajin town, their fate is unknown until the moment.
