Iran’s IRGC changes posts fearing US, Israeli attacks in Syria Deir ez-Zor
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Iranian-backed militia changed on Saturday their posts and removed their flags in the countryside of Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria, fearing of the repetition of being shelled again by the US-led Global Coalition forces.
On Friday night, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) stationed west of the Euphrates River in Deir ez-Zor and the Global Coalition forces stationed to the east exchanged a number of attacks, causing causalities.
A military source of Iranian-backed Liwa Fatemiyoun militia in the al-Mayadin desert, in the northern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, said that the IRGC issued a circular to get down its falgs and raise the flags of the Syrian government.
The IR moved logistic equipment and ammunition to unknown direction, as two posts of the IR were evacuated near Muzarin Ali, in the al-Mayadin, to Fatsa, in the countryside of the al-Mayadin, amid strict measures among its militants, according to the source.
The IRGC evacuated more than eight posts in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor, and militants who belong to Iranian and Asian nationalities were moved to an unknown direction, while Syrian and Iraqi militants stayed in posts over which flags of the Syrian government forces are raised, the source added.
