Over 140 ISIL Terrorists Killed by Syrian Forces in Deir Ezzur in Last 72 Hours

The sources said that the ISIL terrorist group’s largest assault on the Deir Ezzur airbase in the last ten months failed on Friday morning was defended by the Syrian Army’s 137th Artillery Brigade of the 17th Reserve Division and the 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard.

As a result of the failed attack, the terrorist group was forced to withdraw their fighters to the Artillery Battalion Base, allowing for the Syrian army’s 137th Brigade to launch a counter-assault amid the multitude of airstrikes from the Syrian Air Force.

According to the military sources, the number of ISIL casualties has jumped to an estimated 140 combatants in the last 72 hours; this includes their killed fighters at the airbase, Al-Muri’iyah, and Al-Jafra.
