The army aircraft pounded ISIL's strongholds in the town of Mouhassan and in the villages of Buqrus Fowqani, East of Buaqrus Tahtani and Bu Leil, killing tens of terrorists and destroying their military vehicles and equipment.

The army troops drove ISIL out of their key stronghold town of al-Mayadeen in Southeastern Deir Ezzur on Saturday.

In the meantime, field sources reported that fierce clashes were underway between the pro-government forces and the ISIL on the Eastern bank of the Euphrates River, opposite to Deir Ezzur city.
