The Syrian army’s Tiger Forces and the National Defense Forces (NDF) recaptured the Um Al-Murra village, the Al-Murra hill, the village of al-Aamidiyah near the ISIS-held city of Deir Ezzor in the province of Aleppo.
Thus, government forces reached Deir Hafer and got a fire control of the southern part of the city (from the Al-Murra hill).
Spoaradic clashes between Tiger Forces troops and ISIS members were reported in the western and southwestern outskirts of Deir Hafer.
Deir Hafer is one of the most important ISIS defense sites in this part of the Aleppo province. If it’s liberated by government troops, the nearby ISIS-held villages will rapidly fall into the hands of the Tiger Forces.
