The Media Office of Deir ez-Zor Military Council reported that a group of four fighters from Deir ez-Zor Military Council—who were off duty and engaged in a non-military errand to receive medical treatment at a pharmacy in the town of Garanij, east of Deir ez-Zor —were subjected to a terrorist act by an armed group believed to be affiliated with the ISIS terrorist organization on the evening of Wednesday.
In response, Deir ez-Zor Military Council conducted a precise military operation that resulted in the killing of one of the abductors and the wounding of three others. “The operation is continuing according to plan, and we affirm that any attack on our forces or our people in the region will be met with a firm and decisive response,” the statement on Thursday said.
Deir ez-Zor Military Council announced the launch of an immediate and comprehensive investigation to uncover the circumstances of the incident and determine responsibilities, while withholding all information and details related to the case until the investigation is concluded and necessary measures are completed.
“Our Deir ez-Zor Military Council rejects any attempts to undermine the security and stability of the region and reaffirms its determination to pursue terrorism wherever it may be, and to escalate operations against all those who threaten the lives of our people and the achievements of our struggle,” the Council stated.
