Late on July 16, the US-led coalition and the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) carried out a successful counter-terrorism operation in the town of Diban in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
A joint force of the coalition and the SDF landed from helicopters in the al-Latwah neighborhood, where a cell of ISIS was taking shelter.
Following heavy clashes, two of the cell’s members were eliminated. Four other terrorists were captured by the joint force.
“The Coalition will continue with its partners to strike at the terrorists, reflecting the world-wide unity to see an enduring defeat delivered against Daesh [ISIS],” US-led coalition spokesman Col. Wayne Marotto said on Twitter. “US troops will continue the campaign as part of the Coalition to prevent a Daesh resurgence.”
The situation in the southeastern Deir Ezzor countryside is far from being stable. ISIS is not the only threat facing the US-led coalition in the region.
In the last three weeks, six attacks, allegedly carried out by Iranian-backed forces, targeted US-led coalition bases in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor. Recently, a joint patrol of the coalition and the SDF uncovered Iranian-made rockets prepared for launch in the region.
Mmmmmm, another US Blue on Blue charade with a few sacrificial lambs..
Yes , regular army v CIA proxies. I wonder how US taxpayers feel about paying for both sides to fight each other. I suppose they are happy as they will end up with a victory.
Yes I do. In your case CIA stands for Cretinous Imbecilic Arsehole. The probably created that acronym just for you jens. Just cretin for short. Hi Cretin.
What the fuk is all that other waffle about. You have no idea what political system exists where I am and yet you waffle on as if you do know. As usual you know nothing Cretin. Oh how so dum is beyond me.
“The purpose of the NATO alliance is to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.” ― Lord Ismay, first Secretary General of NATO from 1952 to 1957.
How do we know this wasn’t just an operation against disgruntled local Arab tribes that prefer to be under Damascus control? Daesh never targets US imperial forces, neither does it target Israeli forces and if does it apologizes.
None here agree with you so why not take your own advice and flock off with the birds dum kunt.
The refugees are prisoners. They are not allowed to leave or get shot, moron. Why don’t you go there and see if you can escort a group away from there. Good luck and good bye.
Seems Danes, like Jens “the Dolt” Stoltenberg (man is he one dumb f*ck), are the preferred lap dogs for the NATO terrorist organization.
US “neutralizes” it’s own personnel in mock training drill.
