Damascus, SAEDNEWS, Jan. 26: “The ISIL cells have recently resumed their activities in two main areas; first, the Homs deserts triangle, Deir Ezzur, and the Iraqi border; second, the desert between Hama, Raqqa and Deir Ezzur,” the source told the Arabic-language al-Akhbar newspaper on Monday.
He added that the traffic of a number of ISIL terrorists have been monitored and it has come to be known that “a number of attacks start from Al-Tanf area and around the US base there”.
Also, a senior Syrian military source said that the US facilitates and supports the moves of ISIL-affiliated terrorists in order to ensure instability and insecurity in the region and continue the war of attrition against the Syrian army in the Syrian desert region.
He noted that the US goal is to cut off all contacts between Eastern Syria and Damascus and Homs, adding, “For this reason, Washington uses the ISIL inmates in the prisons of its supported Kurdish militias and transfers them to the Syrian desert and the Iraqi borders.”
A senior Iraqi source said that the recent airstrikes against Jurf al-Nasr region at the bordering areas of Iraq and Syria were aimed at preparing the ground for the ISIL to enter the country.
Al-Qadir news network quoted a "special source" as saying that the attack on Iraqi army units in Jurf al-Nasr area was part of the US ongoing attempts to destabilize Iraq.
He added that the air raids targeted a number of Iraqi army units, killing several forces and wounding a number of others.
The source noted that the US attacks were aimed at undermining Iraq's military power in the region in a bid to the pave the ground for the ISIL terrorists to penetrate into Jurf al-Nasr area from the Syrian border, specially from the US-occupied Al-Tanf base (Source: Fars News).
