Led by the Tiger Forces and 5th Legion, the Syrian Arab Army were able to advance and liberate the Jararih Oil Field at the outskirts of Salaam ‘Alaykum village yesterday night.
According to a military report, the Syrian Army encircled the ISIL forces at the Jararih Oil Field, yesterday, before storming their points.
