Clashes between Syrian army troops and ISIS terrorists intensified in the area of the Tharda Mountain and the cemetery in the city of Deir Ezzor.
Government forces actions against ISIS units were supported by multiple airstrikes by Syrian and Russian warplanes.
According to local media activists, over 20 airstrikes hit ISIS targets in the areas of the Tharda Mountain and the cemetery as well as Bgheliya, Hamideya and Hweika.
Last weekend, ISIS increased its attacks against the Syrian army in the Deir Ezzor Airport and the nearby areas, using a number of suicide bombers to break government defenses but the terrorist group failed to achieve a significant progress.
