Iranian activity in Syria | IRGC and Iranian-backed militias resume their military activity in Al-Mayadeen

Deir Ezzor province: In the last 48 hours, SOHR activists monitored intensive movements of Iranian-backed militias and their leaders in the colony of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps and their backed militias in Al-Mayadeen city.

This comes after the Iranian-backed militias limited their movement and their military vehicles have not been seen for nearly 10 days, for fear of renewed attacks by “International Coalition” on their positions and missile platforms directed towards “international coalition” bases in Deir Ezzor.

According to SOHR sources, Iranian-backed militias transported artillery and heavy vehicles from Al-Esha’arah area in Al-Mayadeen to Deir Ezzor and Al-Raqqah.

Military activity in areas controlled by Iranian-backed militia returned and resumed as it was before the recent “International Coalition” strikes in late August 2022.

On September 19, SOHR activists, in Al-Mayadeen “Iranian colony” in west Euphrates region, reported that Iranian-backed militias, especially non-Syrian ones, ordered their members to dramatically limit their movements in Al-Mayadeen city for fear of possible attack.

According to SOHR sources, militiamen left their headquarters and bases only when necessary and take their caution, for fear of assassinations.
