ISIS attacks in Deir ez-Zor pose a new threat in terms of the recent intensification of military operations and targeting in the governorate. ISIS attacks in areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces represent another threat and burden, amid the chaos witnessed in the eastern countryside.
Residents face difficulties in going out at night, even in emergency situations, due to fears of being targeted and the deteriorating security situation. ISIS is still using the same military tactic in its sporadic attacks by targeting and evacuating the place very quickly.
