Iraq: The number of ISIS militants that flee from the battlefields is growing
Every day a lot of ISIS militants are defecting, disappearing and deserting the terror organization. The number has been growing in Iraq’s Nineveh province. ISIS security forces have started an unprecedented raid campaign on homes of its militant, and capture those who try to escape.
The punishment for defection is the death penalty. A reliable Iraqi security source in the province said: “According to our sources, some 40 local ISIS militants in the southern districts of Mosul have vanished during the past few days, while before this another 25 or so in Mosul or its suburbs also disappeared.
“The source noted that “many of the local fighters who decide to defect transfer their personal property and home appliances totheir relatives, knowing that ISIS will demolish their homes and steal or seize their property.”
