In Syria, terrorists captured about 700 people

Militants of the Islamic State terrorist group * October 13 attacked a refugee camp in the Syrian region of Al-Bahra and captured residents, Lieutenant-General Vladimir Savchenko, head of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties in Syria, said.

"Using full impunity, ISIS militants * on October 13 attacked a refugee camp in the Al-Bahr area, as a result of which 130 families of about 700 people were captured and taken to Hadjin," said Savchenko.

He added that the abducted civilians are actually taken hostage and can be used by terrorists as a “human shield” to cover the militants from the possible attack of the “Syrian Democratic Forces”.

Savchenko stressed that the Russian Center for Reconciliation urges the commanders of illegal armed groups to abandon armed provocations and take the path of a peaceful settlement of the situation in areas under their control.
In addition, despite the established cessation of hostilities, violations by illegal armed groups operating in the idlib de-escalation zone continue.
“Thus, within a day, shelling of settlements of Rush, Akch-Baer (three times), Ain-en-Naur, Jubb-ez-Zarur, Ikko of Lattakia province was recorded,” the head of the Center said.Imitation fight
At the same time, the Defense Ministry said that the US-led coalition and the Pentagon-controlled Kurdish forces of the Syrian Democratic Forces continue to imitate the fight against the Islamic State * in the south of the Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor.
"Despite the statement of the American side about the victory over IS * in Syria, the terrorists still retain control over certain regions of the country," the report says.

Savchenko said that as a result of the inaction of the pro-American formations, the terrorists managed to establish complete control over the strip along the eastern bank of the Euphrates, stretching about 20 kilometers between the settlements of Khadzhin and Es Sousse.
