ISIS terrorists escaping from battlefields amid Iraqi forces rapid advances towards the border with Syria

A large number of ISIS terrorists have started escaping from the battlefields towards the group’s border base in Syria following the Iraqi forces’ rapid advances towards the town of al-Qa’em in Western Anbar, an Arab media outlet reported on Monday.

The Arabic-language Al-Mayadeen news network reported that Iraqi forces captured over 60 percent of al-Jazeera region in Anbar province and deployed 10 km away from the town of al-Qa’em on the third day of their operation towards border with Syria.

Well-informed sources told al-Mayadeen that terrorists in al-Qa’em have left their arms and fled towards the Syrian border town of Albu Kamal following the army advances, ISIS’s heavy death toll and the growing trend of escape among the terrorists’ commanders.

The sources added that the ISIL has started calling on own members via laud-speakers not to leave their positions, threatening the fleeing member of harsh punishment
