ISIS cells have attacked a key checkpoint of the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) west of the northern Syrian city of Manbij, the terrorist group’s news agency, Amaq, reported on March 26.
“Nine personnel [of the SDF] were killed as a result, their weapons and ammunition were captured, thank God,” Amaq’s report reads.
A spokesman for the SDF’s Manbij Military Council (MMC), Sharafan Darwish, confirmed that ISIS cells attacked a checkpoint of the council in the outskirt of Manbij. However, he told the France-Press Agency (AFP) that only seven fighters of the MMC were killed in the surprise attack.
ISIS cells are highly active inside and around Manbij. On January 15, a suicide bomber of the terrorist group blew himself up in the city’s center killing four U.S. service members. Later on March 9, ISIS cells detonated a vehicle-borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) near a US-led coalition convoy on a road leading to Manbij.
The SDF’s security forces and the US-led coalition conducted dozens of security operations against ISIS cells in Manbij and its countryside over the last few months. However, the terrorist group’s influence is apparently growing.
So much for Trumps constant refrain that ISIS is defeated (by US & Kurds of course) or ……… could it possibly be that elements within US CIA / Military / Defense / “Intelligence” community are engaging in False Flag Operations in order to secure and maintain a continuing US Military presence in NE Syria? (Not a question.)
Yes.
No way are these guys defeated! And they probably never will be! Maybe Trump and his cronies should visit https://isis.liveuamap.com/ to see how Daesh are attacking on a daily basis! In fact, after he announced they were ‘defeated’, the attacks seem to have increased, especially in the North Sinai are of Egypt where the Egyptian army can’t even defeat them in that small area!
