Syrian Air Force Bombs Heavily ISIL’s Positions in Southeastern Deir Ezzur

The army aircraft pounded ISIL’s strongholds in the town of Mouhassan and in the villages of Buqrus Fowqani, East of Buaqrus Tahtani and Bu Leil, killing tens of terrorists and destroying their military vehicles and equipment.

The army troops drove ISIL out of their key stronghold town of al-Mayadeen in Southeastern Deir Ezzur on Saturday.

“The army has purged terrorists from the town of al-Mayadeen and its surrounding regions and managed to impose full control over the town,” the army sources said.

They added that the army men were advancing in the Western outskirts of al-Mayadeen to fortify their defense lines.

In the meantime, field sources reported that fierce clashes were underway between the pro-government forces and the ISIL on the Eastern bank of the Euphrates River, opposite to Deir Ezzur city.
