ISIS resurgence | ISIS executes seven regime-backed militiamen in Deir Ezzor desert

ARK News.. SOHR said that ISIS continues its activities in the Syrian desert, amid complete inaction by regime forces and their allies there. In this context ISIS executed seven regime-backed militiamen days before. The execution took place in Deir Ezzor desert in the area between Deir Ezzor countryside and Al-Sukhna in the far eastern Homs desert.

SOHR added that this incident comes a few hours after ISIS blocked Damascus-Deir Ezzor road near Kabajib area.

SOHR also added that ISIS seized a vehicle carrying regime, other soldiers and a woman whom were executed all by the organization’s members.

SOHR made clear that ISIS executed several people whom it said that they were “spies of the Syrian regime” in Al-Sukhna area in Homs countryside. In new video footage, ISIS members appeared executing four persons, using their routine styles “slaughtering and execution by firing squad”.

Syrian Observatory sources reported about frequent kidnappings of shepherds in the Syrian desert in areas under the control of regime forces and loyal militias.

The executed people, who appeared in the recent video footage, had been kidnapped with other people by ISIS nearly two months ago for “providing the regime forces with information about ISIS locations in Al-Sukhna desert”.
