The spokesperson for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) announced on Tuesday morning that the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Al Sham (ISIS) suffered over 200 casualties during their 3 day long offensive in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.
This high number cannot be verified exactly because ISIS does not release information regarding their casualties.
Photos of several ISIS fighters sprawled across Deir Ezzor’s desert terrain had surfaced on Monday after soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard released the pictures of the dead terrorists.
ISIS’ offensive in western Deir Ezzor proved incredibly costly for the terrorist group, as they lost several field commanders and a large number of foreign combatants while trying to maintain control over the western district of the provincial capital.
The Syrian Armed Forces, on the other-hand, reported a total of 41 casualties during the 3-day long battle; this number is mostly comprised of soldiers from the 104th Brigade; abna 24 reported.
