DEIR EZZOR, Syria – The ISIS Hunters, an elite unit of the Syrian Army with the sole concentration of fighting ISIS, released a Facebook post on its official page yesterday stating that “ISIS surrendered to ISIS Hunters after several days siege of Hawijah Kate island,” as reported by Fort Russ News yesterday.
“Hunters captured more than 250 ISIS militia fighters who capitulated with lots of 7.62 and 12.7 ammunition and enough food reserves after the last way to retreat was cut off,” the statement explained.
The impressive capture of the vast amounts of ISIS fighters has meant that the ISIS Hunters have a powerful leverage against against the terrorist organisation who have in their custody a number of Russian contractors that were captured some weeks back.
