BEIRUT, LEBANON (12:02 P.M.) – Pro-government forces, led by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), have netted another strategic gain in the southern Syrian desert.
According to the Syrian Ministry of Defense, pro-government forces have liberated the area of Bi’r al-Dulaiyat from ISIS terrorists. More specifically, the village of al-Dulaiyat sits virtually halfway along the road that connects, from north to south, the town of Arak to the T-2 Airbase and then on to the border town of Al-Bukamal.
This most recent victory is part of the ongoing push by pro-government forces to expand their zone of control along the Syrian-Iraqi border and thus further limit the strategic mobility of ISIS through the extensive Badia region that sits between the two countries (a space where the trans-national movement of ISIS forces has been traditionally unopposed).
