Abu Kamal: The battle begins

[Bleipriester]

Russian airstrikes and Syrian artillery soak ISIS defenses while troops surround the city, leaving only a small corridor for ISIS to leave. ISIS recaptured Abu Kamal last week. Will ISIS cling to the city?

No they will not. The world wants dead Muslims. And they intend to have them.

The question is about whether ISIS will fight or leave without battle.

that's "the question" ---ie *will ISIS fight* ??? Isis is DA UMMAH--------Isis is DA CALIPHATE -----ISLAM IS DA CALIPHATE. Even BAATHISM is DA CALIPHATE The purpose of DA CALIPHATE ----is world imperialism

Once again we can see what is the difference. SDF takes the oil fields in staged battles or by simply turning ISIS into SDF while the government troops face well armed ISIS armies. ISIS is boasting of its guided missiles they deploy in Abu Kamal. However, no matter what they field, there is no road to victory for the proxy army. Leading the assault is the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

All the boasting and advanced weaponry was in vain, the city is almost entirely liberated. Led by the Tiger Forces, the pro-government forces gave short shrift.
