(AhlulBayt News Agency) - An airstrike by the coalition killed at least ten ISIS militants, including the group’s military commander in Deir ez-Zor Abu Muhajir al-Maghribi, activists reported on Sunday.
The coalition’s air raid hit an ISIS convoy in the Mareiya District near the Deir ez-Zor Military Airport, killing al-Maghribi and another ten fighters of the ISIS.
“Abu Muahjir al-Maghribi had led several ISIS military campaigns against the Syrian regime’s forces as well as the rebel groups in eastern Syria. His death was a heavy loss for the ISIS,” media activist Hajji al-Deri said, citing an ISIS official.
In the meantime, clashes erupted on Sunday between the Syrian army and ISIS in Deir ez-Zor city.
“Fierce clashes took place in the neighbourhoods of al-Umal, al-Jbellah and Sinaa after ISIS hit regime-held areas with mortar shells,” human rights activist Alaa al-Hadi said in Deir ez-Zor, adding that ISIS was eventually forced to withdraw towards its bases after failing to accomplish any progress.
