BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:50 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) scored another massive advance in the southeastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, liberating several towns inside the Islamic State’s (IS) last bastion.

Led by their elite Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army liberated several towns and mountaintops after pushing southeast of Al-Mayadeen city on Monday.

According to a military report, the Syrian Army liberated Khutaytah, ‘Abbas, Masra’at Shamr, Qit’ah, Mujawwadah, Jabal Nusuriyah, Tal Bani, and Tal Khinzir after a fierce battle with the Islamic State.

The Syrian Army is now working to liberate the strategic Jalaa area, which is one of the last sites separating their forces in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.

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.
