BEIRUT, LEBANON (8:10 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued their advance inside Deir Ezzor City, today, liberating new areas inside the Islamic State (ISIS) stronghold of Al-Hamidiyah.
Led by the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army managed to reach the central part of Al-Hamidiyah after breaking through the Islamic State’s second line of defense inside the district.
Meanwhile at Al-Jubeileh, the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division attacked the Islamic State’s defenses inside the northern corridor of the district, scoring a new advance after several hours of fighting.
Once the Syrian Army clears both Al-Jubeileh and Al-Hamidiyah, the Islamic State will be confined to a small area in the Old Airport District.
