For its part, the Coalition referred to the Asayish’s “strong determination and relentless efforts” in tackling the ISIS threats.

The Coalition confirmed the importance of strong partnership in the success of the anti-ISIS mission.

On April 13th, ISIS claimed responsibility for an attack in the Deir-ez-Zor countryside which led to the killing of an Asayish member.
