ISIS Element Rips Off Eid al-Fitr Donations

An ISIS leader has stolen the donations made by people to the poor on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, in al-Mayadin city in Deir ez-Zor, eastern Syria.

The ISIS commander, called Abu Obeida, has plundered Zakat al-Fitr, or the charity given to the poor at the end of the fasting in the holy month of Ramadan.

After stealing the donations worth $5 million, he fled and vanished into thin air.

According to Syrian media sources, the move by Abu Obeida, who heads the so-called ISIS Zakat department in Deir ez-Zor, has become an object of ridicule for social media users.

They have posted job advertisements on social media inviting all the criminals looking for a job to join the ISIS, saying to gain membership to the group they are required to possess no special qualifications or capabilities.
