On August 2, the ISIS terrorist group launched fresh military operations in Deir Ezzor, pursuing the goal to push the Syrian government forces from this strategic city. Major ISIS attacks were delivered in the areas of Al-Rawad, Heart Hospital and Furat Hotel. Nonetheless, the Syrian army repelled these attacks. Pro-government sources argued that the terrorist group lost some 40 terrorists in these clashes.

Heart Hospital? I guess the “moderate” terrorists were feeling hungry again.
