TEHRAN (Defapress)- The army men stormed ISIL's positions in the deserts South-West of the town of al-Mayadeen, and managed to impose control over a region between al-Ward oilfield, al-Mo'ayzileh, al-Tamah and Feizeh Ibn Moyane'a 40 km in length.

In the meantime, a field source reported that an area as large as almost 2,000 sq-km of land in Southwestern Badiyeh of al-Mayadeen has been freed from ISIL and the army has defused tens of landmines and bombs planted by the terrorists in the region.

In a similar development earlier this month, the Syrian army troops engaged in heavy clashes with the ISIL terrorists who moved to penetrate into the government forces' positions in the surrounding areas of Humeimeh Northeast of Palmyra, forcing the terrorists to escape the region after leaving behind rather heavy casualties.

Meantime, the Syrian air force heavily pounded the terrorists' positions and movements in near al-Mo'ayzileh dam, Station 3, Humeimeh and in the areas near the borders of Deir Ezzur province and Eastern Badiyeh (desert), destroying several targets as well as killing and injuring tens of terrorists.

"The Syrian army fortified its positions and restored full security to areas around the towns of al-Jala, al-Hasarat and al-Sayyal in Southeastern Deir Ezzur after fending off the ISIL's attacks in the last two days and pushing back the terrorists," field sources reported.

The Syrian army killed tens of terrorists and destroyed their vehicles and military equipment in clashes with ISIL terrorists in Southeastern Deir Ezzur.
