'Isis is finished': Syrian army declares end of terror group - Sensationalist Headlines

[QUOTE]Isis militants withdrew on Thursday from their last stronghold in Syria, a strategic town near the border with Iraq, following a government offensive that has effectively left the extremist group’s fighters dispersed in villages in the desert. The Syrian military declared the town of Abu Kamal liberated after intense battles that killed a large number of militants, including leaders. The military said they are still chasing other Isis militants in different directions in the desert. “The liberation of Abu Kamal is of great importance because it is a declaration of the fall of this group’s project in the region generally and the collapse of its supporters’ illusions to divide it, control large parts of the Syria-Iraq borders and secure supply routes between the two countries,” said army spokesman General Ali Mayhoub in a televised statement. Syrian pro-government media said Syrian troops had clashed with remnants of Isis militants in the town after they entered it late on Wednesday. On Thursday, they reported the town clear of Isis fighters. Pro-Syrian media reported the town was liberated. Al-Ikhbariya TV’s journalist reported from the road to the town, joyfully breaking out on camera: “Daesh [Isis] is finished. Live.” The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said government forces and allied troops, including Iraqi forces who linked from across the border, are combing through Abu Kamal after Isis militants withdrew. With the collapse of Isis in Abu Kamal, Isis militants have no major territorial control in Syria and Iraq, and are believed to have dispersed in the desert west and east of the Euphrates River. US officials have estimated that there were between 2,500 and 3,500 Isis militants around Abu Kamal, and that leading members of the group were also believed to have taken refuge in the town. The group has a small presence near the capital Damascus. Isis has suffered consecutive defeats at the hands of separate but simultaneous offensives in Iraq and Syria by the Russian-backed Syrian forces and allied militias as well as US-backed Iraqi and Syrian fighters. Despite its fall, the group’s media apparatus has remained active and its fighters are likely to keep up their insurgency from desert areas. The swift fall of Abu Kamal in eastern Deir ez-Zor province was accelerated after Iraqi forces seized Al-Qa’im, the town across the border last weekend, also controlling a strategic crossing between the two countries. A senior Iraqi official said there was an agreement on Tuesday to send Iraqi paramilitaries to Syria to take part in the Abu Kamal operation, adding that the Syrians were to supply them with weapons and gear. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorised to speak to reporters. An Iraqi spokesman for the Popular Mobilisation Forces said last week that his forces, part of the Iraqi security forces, will participate in the operation and will head north to protect the borders and secure the road from Iran to Lebanon. Abu Kamal is the last urban centre for the militants in both Iraq and Syria where Syrian troops – backed by Russia and Iranian-supported militias – and US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces are vying for control of the strategic border town.

"ISIS is finished," Says Increasingly Nervous Army For Seventh Time This Year

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;52901014]"ISIS is finished," Says Increasingly Nervous Army For Seventh Time This Year[/QUOTE] "Increasingly nervous man" is borderline shitposting

Hopefully with ISIS scattered to the wind they can start negotiating with all of the rebel groups to bring a peaceful end to the war. I can’t imagine that many people in Syria are willing to keep up the fight anymore, but only if dialogue is an option that all sides are willing to take. I haven’t been up to date with the whole situation recently but I hope that this victory will at least change the different factions’ mindsets toward ceasefire and peace.

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;52901014]"ISIS is finished," Says Increasingly Nervous Army For Seventh Time This Year[/QUOTE] only a member of ISIS would say this think its time to reveal ur true identity my dude

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;52901014]"ISIS is finished," Says Increasingly Nervous Army For Seventh Time This Year[/QUOTE] right. what does some nobody who happens to be a general in syria know about any of this?

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;52901014]"ISIS is finished," Says Increasingly Nervous Army For Seventh Time This Year[/QUOTE] It won’t stop terror attacks inspired by ISIS, but this is their end as a quasi-state.

ISIS should never have been allowed to coalesce, and even [I]remotely[/I] resemble any form of city/state/nation at all. It's an embarrassment to the prospect of peace that we allowed/made such a thing to happen.

Now for the fractured remains to split into several smaller terror groups, grow in influence, and eventually become the new ISIS.

Might not be as the officials claim: [media]https://twitter.com/IvanSidorenko1/status/931655439871291392[/media] BONUS: [url]http://isis.liveuamap.com/[/url]

lets hope they fuckin MEAN IT

good fucking riddance i'm just extremely worried that this will more than likely lead to whatever is left of these cunts entering Europe as "refugees" and blowing shit up here

[QUOTE=DudesonFan;52902880]good fucking riddance i'm just extremely worried that this will more than likely lead to whatever is left of these cunts entering Europe as "refugees" and blowing shit up here[/QUOTE] There high chance for that they just can claim they are trying to find safe place and do terror attacks becoust they know their dream is over

[QUOTE=Laserbeams;52901014]"ISIS is finished," Says Increasingly Nervous Army For Seventh Time This Year[/QUOTE] You do know the Syrian army recaptured quite literally half of the country from ISIS this year right?

The war won't be over for Syria though. There are remaining rebel groups that will drag the civil war further. Not to say new rebels might appear with the fall of ISIS.

Really killing ISIS probably won't ever happen, at best people will maybe stop going under that name and have just joined some new party to cause terror. It is still nice to see that they pretty much stopped any place that was taken over by them. Pretty sure thats more what this news implies.
