Deir Ezzor | ISIS members threaten residents to kill their sons if not give up working for SDF

Deir Ezzor Province – Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: reliable sources have told SOHR that four ISIS members on motorcycles toured Al-Sabha village in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, calling upon the relatives of SDF members and threatened to kill their sons if they did not give up working for SDF in no more one week.

 

This development comes in the wake of escalating operations by ISIS cells throughout SDF-held areas, east Deir Ezzor countryside in particular, as well as daily assassinations which target SDF members.

 

Yesterday, SOHR sources said that unidentified gunmen targeted a military vehicle of the SDF-backed Deir Ezzor Military Council in the town of Al-Busayrah in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, killing one member and injuring five others. The attack resulted in the burning of the vehicle. The attack was followed by clashes with machineguns between the gunmen and SDF members near the targeted site.
