ISIS fails to prevail over Syrian Army positions in Deir Ezzur province

The army men engaged in fierce clashes with the ISIL and warded off their heavy assault on the small town of al-Shoula in Eastern Deir Ezzur.

In the meantime, the army’s artillery and missile units pounded terrorists’ movements and positions in al-Shoula and inflicted major losses on the terrorists, forcing the remaining pockets of them to retreat.

Meanwhile, other artillery and missile units of the army opened heavy fire at ISIL’s movements and positions in Albu Kamal region in Southeastern Deir Ezzur and inflicted major losses on them.

Earlier this month, the Syrian army repulsed a heavy attack by the ISIL terrorists against its positions near the town of Albu Kamal in Eastern Deir Ezzur, near the borders with Iraq.

The army soldiers engaged in fierce clashes with a large number of ISIL terrorists, including suicide bombers, who had attacked the army positions in al-Kataf region of Albu Kamal from Baqouz region.

Field sources said that heavy clashes erupted between the two sides in parts of al-Kornish region and farms near the Euphrates River, noting that a large number of militants were killed and wounded.

They added that the Syrian army troops repelled the terrorists’ attacks after several hours of clashes, forcing other militants to flee.
