Syrian General is killed near Deir ez-Zor

62
Sad messages come from Syria. When a mine exploded, one of the commanders of the Syrian government forces detached. We are talking about the General of the SAR armed forces Issam Zahreddin, who is known for holding a defense from the so-called “Islamic State” terrorists (* banned in the Russian Federation) Deir ez-Zor for more than three and a half years under his command.

Syrian General is killed near Deir ez-Zor




RIA News With reference to a representative of the Syrian army, reports that General Issam Zahreddin hit a mine near Saker Island.

It is known from the biography of the military general that until he took command of the Deir-ez-Zor garrison, he led the troops of the Republican Guard of the Syrian Arab Republic in Damascus. The detachments under his command, prior to the beginning of the participation of the Russian VKS in the counter-terrorist operation, were engaged in containing the central quarters of the Syrian capital under the onslaught of the militants. The general repeatedly participated in the development of defensive operations, and these operations were most often successful.

Against this background, the Syrian army continues to advance to the border with Iraq. For Syrian troops, it is important to block the cross-border movement of militants. And these are photos with trophy weapons from the previously freed Meyadin (photo Ivan Sidorenko):

    Everlasting memory. He fulfilled his duty - the DEZ resisted. But, here is the constant death of sensible commanders, that in Syria, that in the Donbass, I do not consider random. Only recently, our general and the commander of the brigade of marines were killed and Grandfather died. This is not an accident, but HUNTING. The performers may be local, but they guide them and conduct training and reconnaissance - definitely experts from the United States. Maybe the CIA, maybe the military, maybe PMC, but obviously the pros are working. request
    So - we need countermeasures and hunting for hunters.

        Komsomol is not peculiar to pessimism. As for the "answer". A week after the death of our general, the Russian Aerospace Forces gouged the “glider” of ISIS field commanders. About 30 adversaries died, and the main one was seriously wounded, his arm was torn off. For him, this is a heavier punishment than death. Yes

          The fact that there are specialists is undeniable. But out of 20 field commanders and militants, at least 7-8, if not more, were destroyed by their own, because they decided to break away from the Wahhabis.

    By the way, for information. 2013, in the city of Essaouida, the spiritual leaders of the Druze sentenced him to death.
    At one time he commanded the 104th Brigade of the Republican Guard. If you look at the list of commanders of this brigade, you will find half of the Assad family there.
    Deir Ez-Zor made a legend out of him. It may be that he was removed as his own. No one needs such a competitor with great authority among the people. The East is a delicate matter.
