The oil is extracted from Dir A-Zur in Syria and two fields in Iraq and transported to the Kurdish city of Zakhu in a triangle of land near the borders of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. Israeli and Turkish mediators come to the city and when prices are agreed, the oil is smuggled to the Turkish city of Silop marked as originating from Kurdish regions of Iraq and sold for $15-18 per barrel

It passes hands a few times to avoid direct links. Someone traced it back. Came from ISIS.

You're pretty delusional if you think every drop of oil can be traced back in such an active conflict. You should read up on more sources and you'll see everyone was buying cheap oil from the intermediaries. You could say Assad was funding ISIS with Russian support, but it's a pretty useless statement once you know where it comes from

I'm glad you are denying this report by making random claims about drops of oil.

Did you know oil goes into barrels? Onto trucks? So much cool info that's mentioned in the article. You can even read the article before commenting on it to defend israel!
