Terrorist cells from the remnants of Daesh “ISIS” terrorist organization spread in some areas in al-Badia “semi-desert” region, and they are backed by the US occupation forces which occupy the area of al-Tanf near the Syrian-Iraqi-Jordanian borders, and they launch terrorist operations in the areas which are adjacent to al-Badia region, particularly on the roads and the residential compounds.

On December 30th, 25 citizens were martyred and 13 others were injured in a terrorist attack that targeted their bus on Kabajib area on the road between Deir Ezzor and Palmyra.
