Major development: Syrian Army liberates three districts in Deir Ezzor City

BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:15 P.M.) – Minutes ago, a source from the Syrian Arab Army informed Al-Masdar that their forces had liberated three districts inside the provincial capital of Deir Ezzor.

Backed by Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army liberated the Al-Khasarat, Al-Kanamat, and Al-Matar districts after a short battle with the Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists in the provincial capital.

This advance by the Syrian Army comes just hours after they managed to envelop the remaining Islamic State terrorists occupying several parts of Deir Ezzor City.

Currently, the Syrian Arab Army is advancing at Port Sa’id Street, Al-Rusafah, and Al-‘Aqal in a bid to clear the last Islamic State pockets inside the city.
