In ambush carried out by “ISIS” cells | Four members of military council of Deir Ezzor killed and injured in northern countryside of Deir Ezzor

Deir Ezzor province: Today, gunmen who are likely to belong to “ISIS” cells attacked a military vehicle carrying members of the military council of Deir Ezzor through an ambush, in Al-Saadah area in Al-Sour town in the northern countryside of Deir Ezzor, while they were heading to Al-Shadadi area south of Al-Hasakah, what resulted in the death of a member and the injury of three other members, including a critical condition.
In conjunction with the attack, members of the military council of Deir Ezzor combed the area and arrested a number of suspect persons.
This comes in light of the increase of “ISIS” cells actives in areas in north-east Syria, through ambushes, explosions, surprise attacks and targeting against civilians and combatants.
