Deir Ezzor | “Haj Qassem Soleimani” militia brings in military reinforcement from Aleppo

Deir Ezzor province: Syrian Observatory of Human Rights (SOHR) activists have reported the arrival of military enforcement of the local militia of Haj Qassem Soleimani for strengthening its posts and positions in the desert of Al-Bokamal and along the Iraq-Syria border strip.

 

According to SOHR activists, nearly 165 fighters came from the areas of Nebl and Al-Zahraa in the west of Aleppo to al-Mayadeen.

 

It is worth noting that Haj Qassem Soleimani militia has been formed recently in these areas with direct fund and support from the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps.

 

On February 7, SOHR reported that tens of members of the Iranian-backed militia “Al-Haj Qassem Soleimani Regiment”, which had been established a few months earlier in Nebl and Al-Zahraa areas in the northern countryside of Aleppo and comprising local Shiite fighters, arrived in Al-Bokamal city with the aim to boost and be deployed at Iranian militias’ posts in the area from Al-Bokamal desert to the Syria-Iraq border.
