Syrian Army troops continued to beat back ISIL terrorists from more key positions Southwest of Deir Ezzur, paving the ground for the removal of terrorists’ siege on the city’s military airport.

The army men, backed up by the Syrian and Russian fighter jets, stormed ISIL’s positions in Deir Ezzur’s cemetery, taking control over several key positons in the region that connects the city to the besieged airbase.

In the meantime, the Syrian and Russian fighter jets pounded ISIL’s movements and gatherings near Deir Ezzur’s cemetery, the al-Ma’amel region near al-Tamin Brigade, Jonayd Division and al-Thardah mountain.

A field source said meanwhile that over 30 ISIL terrorists killed and an arms depot and three bases of terrorists were destroyed in the army’s artillery and air attacks on ISIL’s positons in al-Thardah mountain, Ayash warehouses, East of airport, Northwest of Tal (hill) Borouk, and the neighborhoods of al-Orfi and al-Jabiliyeh.
