Syrian Army’s Elite Forces Seize New Areas in Deir Ezzur

The Syrian elite forces seized four concentration centers of the ISIL in a surprise attack near Deir Ezzur airport.

The ISIL terrorists have tried to take control of areas in Deir Ezzur province over the past month, but they have failed due to the resistance of the Syrian army and popular forces.

On Monday, the Syrian air force hit ISIL positions and movements in the Eastern countryside of Deir Ezzur.

The Syrian fighter jets pounded the terrorists’ concentration centers in the villages of al-Mraeyeh, al-Jafrah and Hatlah, killing a group of ISIL terrorists and destroying their machinegun-equipped vehicles, weapons and ammunition.

The Syrian army also foiled a car bomb attack targeting a military post in al-Howaiqa neighborhood in Deir Ezzur city.

On Saturday, the Syrian army troops killed over 150 ISIL terrorists in operations in Deir Ezzur province.

The army clashed with the ISIL terrorists on the outskirts of the neighborhoods of al-Rasafa, al-Rashidyia, al-Ommal and al-Sina’a in Deir Ezzur city, inflicting heavy losses on them, field sources said.

The sources added that more than 150 ISIL terrorists were killed in the operations in Deir Ezzur and its countryside. A number of their vehicles with all the ammunition and machineguns on board were also destroyed.
