Pro-Iranian group fortifies headquarters near Syrian-Iraqi border
DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps-backed group, Liwa Fatemiyoun, closed the sub-roads leading to its headquarters in the city of al-Mayadin in Deir ez-Zor countryside, near the Syrian-Iraqi border.
Azzam al-Hamad, member of the group, said that the procedure came after the discovery of explosive devices prepared for detonation last night, near the group’s headquarters in al-Mayadin.
Al-Hamad added that the fortification process will include all the headquarters in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor to prevent cars from parking and passing by the headquarters and offices of the group.
The group placed concrete barriers and barrels around its headquarters to prevent the vehicles from approaching and parking near its headquarters.
It is worth mentioning that al-Mayadin is under the control of Syrian government forces and pro-Iranian military groups.
The city of al-Mayadin hosts 7 headquarters of Liwa Fatemiyoun and two affiliation offices, all of which are located within the city’s residential neighborhoods.
