The UK-based monitoring group claims that the ISIS members on Saturday were airlifted from al-Tabani, a town on the western outskirts of Deir Ezzor.
Sources on the ground claimed to the SOHR that the US-led operation was backed from artillery fire by the Syrian Democratic Forces. It can only be speculated that the rescued ISIS members were defectors.
This latest rescue mission follows on from Thursday where a similar operation was conducted to rescue a civilian and four ISIS members, including a bomb expert, from a house used as an arms depot in the Beqres suburb of eastern Deir Ezzor.
The details of that operation was also covered by Fort Russ in an article found here.

What Western media editors conceal from the public however, is that the "Syrian Observatory for Human Rights" is neither based in Syria nor is it an observer of what actually goes on there. It is essentially one man - Abdul Rahman, aka Rami Abdulrahman, aka Osama Suleiman - a three-term convicted criminal in Syria, based out of a small house in Coventry, England, and his 'team of four activists in Syria' .
