BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:45 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has imposed fire control over the Sukhnah Gas Field after a fierce battle with the Islamic State (ISIL), an officer at this front told Al-Masdar News this afternoon.

According to the officer, the Syrian Arab Army imposed fire control over the Sukhnah Gas Field after liberating all of the hilltops west of this site.

The officer added that the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Corps is now within 800 meters of Sukhnah and should be in full control of the city within the next 48 hours.

Once Sukhnah is captured by the Syrian military, they will control a key component along the strategic Palmyra-Deir Ezzor Highway.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
