Syrian Army Makes Advances in Deir Ezzur, Destroys Militants’ Arms Depot

The Syrian Army made major advances in Deir Ezzur in Eastern Syria and destroyed a tunnel used by the militants in the area.
The army units made advances in Al-Haviqeh district in Western Deir Ezzur city and destroyed several gathering centers of the militants in Al-Amal, Al-Sanaeh and Al-Sheikh Yassin in the same region.

The Syrian army also destroyed a tunnel used for the smuggling of weapons and ammunition by the militants in Al-Jobeileh town in the same area.

The Syrian army also destroyed an arms depot used by the terrorists in Al-Roshdiyeh town in Deir Ezzur.

The conflict in Syria started in March 2011, when sporadic pro-reform protests turned into a massive insurgency following the intervention of western and regional states.

The unrest, which took in terrorist groups from across Europe, the Middle-East and North Africa, has transpired as one of the bloodiest conflicts in recent history.

As the foreign-backed insurgency in Syria continues without an end in sight, the US government has boosted its political and military support to Takfiri extremists.

Washington has remained indifferent to warnings by Russia and other world powers about the consequences of arming militant groups.
