The US-led coalition purportedly fighting the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group has airlifted to a safe sanctuary several commanders of the foreign-sponsored terror outfit from a region in Syria\u2019s eastern province of Dayr al-Zawr, where government forces and fighters from popular defense groups are tightening the noose around the extremists.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Local sources, requesting anonymity, told Syria\u2019s official news agency SANA that two US-led military aircraft conducted the operation on the outskirts of al-Marashida village, and transported the Takfiris to an unknown location.<\/span><\/p>\n

SANA, citing information received from local residents, reported on December 29 last year that American helicopters had evacuated Daesh commanders from several districts of Dayr al-Zawr province two days earlier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier that month, the Syrian government had sent a message to the United Nations, accusing the US-led coalition of reaching deals with Daesh and coordinating its actions with the terror group\u2019s commanders.<\/span><\/p>\n

On September 10, 2017, Syrian Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem said the US-led coalition was trying to destroy the Arab country and prolong the armed conflict there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Muallem said that Damascus would\u00a0demand the dissolution of the military contingent, stressing that thousands of\u00a0Syrian women and children had been killed by\u00a0coalition airstrikes in\u00a0Raqqah and Dayr al-Zawr provinces.<\/span><\/p>\n

The top Syrian diplomat further noted that the Pentagon was using\u00a0the coalition to\u00a0cover up\u00a0its destruction campaign in Syria.<\/span><\/p>\n

He added that the US-backed militiamen from the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF)\u00a0were fighting Syrian army forces to\u00a0gain control over\u00a0the oil-rich areas of\u00a0the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Damascus would not\u00a0allow any external force to\u00a0violate its sovereignty, Muallem pointed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last August, the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that US-led choppers had transported four Daesh members and a civilian from a house used as an arms depot in Beqres, a suburban area east of Dayr al-Zawr, to a safe area.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the report, the five people included a European bomb expert, three Egyptian Daesh members and a local resident of Beqres.<\/span><\/p>\n

The US-led coalition has been conducting airstrikes against what are said to be Daesh targets inside Syria since September 2014 without any authorization from the Damascus government or a UN mandate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The military alliance has repeatedly been accused of targeting and killing civilians. It has also been largely incapable of achieving its declared goal of destroying\u00a0Daesh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Syria has been gripped by foreign-backed militancy since March 2011. The Syrian government says the Israeli regime and its Western and regional allies are aiding Takfiri terrorist groups that are wreaking havoc in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n
