Press Release
The Crusader Alliance Planes Commit Massacres Silently and Kill Entire Families in Deir al-Zour and al-Raqqa
(Translated)

The crusader Alliance aircrafts recently launched raids on the infrastructure and residential neighborhoods in the southeast of Deir al-Zour, killing seven people, including five children. This came two days after the targeting of the town of Taybeh, killing 18 civilians and injuring more than 20, and causing tremendous material damage.

This is in addition to the massacre committed through several air raids on the village of Deblan in the eastern countryside of Deir al-Zour, where more than fifty civilians were killed, on 28/7/2017. On Friday evening, a new massacre took place in the city of al-Raqqa, killing a whole family of 15 people, including seven children and three women, to join the mass massacres committed in the past 72 hours killing nearly 120 people.

These air raids were accompanied by the shelling of different neighborhoods of Deir al-Zour by warplanes of the brutal regime, resulting in numerous civilian casualties and the destruction of facilities and residential buildings. This is in addition to violations of ISIS against civilians and their indiscriminate executions without any legitimate justification for them!

These arbitrary and criminal practices refresh our memory of what happened in Mosul in recent days, under the same media and international justification, claiming that the coalition is playing its role in combating “terrorism” in the region, which is represented by the existence of ISIS. While the fact is that the coalition aircrafts are only targeting and destroying infrastructure, public utilities, bridges and oil and gas wells in the region, and turning them into ashes and dust on its people. Thus, the battles of Mosul continued, but in another area and on a different geographical zone, registering many massacres and the loss of large numbers of innocent civilians in Syria.

Will we witness the example of the massacre that took place in March 2017 in Mosul, which killed more than 531 civilians, including around 200 children?? Will we wait for the press reports to reveal the appalling numbers of dead like the reports at the end of the battle of Mosul which showed that more than 40 thousand civilians, more than half of them women and children, were killed because of the military force used against them, in addition to tens of thousands of people who were buried under the rubble??

Everything is probable and nothing is impossible, for as long as the criminal is one and his purpose is one, and since his justification has always been ‘terrorism’ which makes trees, stone and human beings the same in front of their war machine in order to colonize the country, strangle the servants (people) and eliminate any Islamic awakening that raises Islamic slogans or calls for the arbitration by Islam.

These criminal coalition forces, that have allied themselves against Islam and Muslims cannot achieve their goal if they were not given a foothold in our country by establishing their military bases, and if our scholars, who have lost their role in restoring confidence and life in the Ummah, did not turn a blind eye to their crimes, and if the armies of the Muslims were not kept trapped in their barracks without any movement that would restore the Ummah’s prestige and status again.

And to the negotiators, we say, you divided Syria with your alleged and politicized truces, and you nipped every movement to change the regime and eliminate it by negotiating with the criminal, trying to break the ranks of the sincere revolutionaries and undermine all the efforts of the conscious people.

So, O Muslims:The malevolent enemies have gathered against you, despite the boundaries that divide you and patriotism that scatter you, for they see you as one Ummah, pointing their arrows of hatred on every hope, true movement and correct revival of this noble nation; the Ummah of Muhammad (saw).

And know that victory is coming, with Allah’s permission, even after a while. So work hard to enable this Deen to obtain the satisfaction of Allah Al-Qadir (the All-Capable) al-Mateen (the Firm Possessor of Strength). And strive to achieve what the Lord of the Worlds and His Noble Prophet (saw) promised us:

«ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ»

“Then there will be Khilafah according to the method of the Prophethood”.
