Syrian Democratic Forces reenter Deir Ezzor

The U.S. backed “Syrian Democratic Forces” have reentered the Deir Ezzor Governorate after seizing the Juweif Oil Station from the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) on Saturday afternoon.

According to the media wing for the “People’s Protection Units” (YPG), this site is a pressure station along the oil pipeline that stretches from Al-Hasakah to the port-city of Baniyas in Tartous.

The Syrian Democratic Forces were able to seize this imperative site that is located 40 km north of Deir Ezzor City after U.S. airstrikes pounded ISIS’ positions near the Al-Hasakah border.
