The ISIS defense collapsed in the Syrian border city of al-Bukamal on November 8.
However, the Syrain Arab Army (SAA) and its allies are still in need to consolidate their recent gains in the area and to secure and demine al-Bukamal. ISIS terrorists control some points in the desert area north of the city and could use a wide network of underground tunnels to conduct counter-attacks.
On November 9, clashes were reported between the SAA and ISIS in the area of al-Bukamal.
