BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:05 P.M.) – The US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have captured another oil field inside the Deir Ezzor Governorate, today, after a short battle with the so-called Islamic State (ISIS).

Led by their Deir Ezzor Military Council, the SDF began the day by capturing several sites along the eastern bank of the Euphrates River, including the towns of Abu Hardoub and Hasiyat.

With these towns captured this morning, the SDF was able to impose full control over the Murad Oil Field, which is situated northeast of Abu Hardoub and directly east of the Euphrates River.

The Islamic State is now confined to several small pockets in the eastern part of Deir Ezzor; they also no longer control any border territory.

Be Civil

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
