Alwaght- The ISIS terrorist group has cut its fighters' salaries by 50 per cent in Syria an indicator of the economic crunch facing Arab states supporting it on the one hand and effectiveness of Russian Airstrikes against the Takfiri group.
A report published by the Independent on Monday shows that ISIS has cut its terrorists' salaries in 50 per cent in Syria due to what it termed “exceptional circumstances”.
The document appears to have been released by the so-called ISIS treasury, the “Bayt Mal al-Muslimeen”, in its Syrian stronghold of Raqqa.
The ISIS terrorist group has lost swathes of the territories it occupied in Syria and Iraq.
The Syrian army, supported by the defense committees, Hezbollah fighters and the Russian warplanes, managed to inflict heavy losses on the terrorist group in most of the provinces, including Damascus countryside and Aleppo.
In Iraq, the army and popular committees liberated most of the cities that ISIS controlled, preparing to regain the rest of the militant-held areas.
Analysts say combination of successful airstrikes by Russian jests which have damaged ISIS oil smuggling infrastructure and d r o p in the oil price are helping to cut off a much-needed revenue stream for ISIS terrorist group. Regional countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar which Damascus blames for financially supporting ISIS are also facing their worst economic times due to the drastic fall in oil prices.
Since last year, however, the price of oil on global markets tumbled from a high of $114 a barrel last June to below $30 for a barrel in January.
