Terrorist cells roam east of Deir ez-Zor and distribute money to Islamic State widows

SOHR activists say that two members of the “Islamic State” of Iraqi nationalities, roamed yesterday the neighbourhoods of the city of Al-Busayrah, which is controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces in Deir ez-Zor eastern countryside, via a pick-up car, and distributed money to widows of ISIS elements of the Islamic State, in a new message which clearly indicates that the “Islamic State” is still alive and kicking.

On February 14, reliable sources told SOHR that four ISIS members on motorcycles toured Al-Sabha village in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, calling upon the relatives of SDF members and threatened to kill their sons if they did not give up working for SDF in no more one week.

This development comes in the wake of escalating operations by ISIS cells throughout SDF-held areas, east Deir Ezzor countryside in particular, as well as daily assassinations which target SDF members.
