BEIRUT, LEBANON (5:30 P.M.) – Minutes ago, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) established full control over the Sufyan Oil Fields in western Al-Raqqa after a fierce battle against the Islamic State (ISIL) militants in the region.

Led by their elite Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army attacked the Islamic State’s positions at the Salamiyah-Raqqa Highway after successfully taking control of the Thawrah Oil Fields.

The Sufyan Oil Fields are located along the Salamiyah-Raqqa Highway, just north of the Waheb Oil Fields.

The Syrian Arab Army has now set their sights on the Waheb Oil Fields in order to secure a large part of the Salamiyah-Raqqa Highway.
