The White Shroud

The White Shroud is a Sunni Syrian resistance movement established in 2014 to fight the occupation of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant in Deir ez-Zor Governorate. It claimed the responsibility of assassinations of ISIL militants and commanders and is trying to expand its presence in the province and the city of Deir ez-Zor. The organisation lost many of its fighters in an ISIL assault on Albukamal in April 2014.
