Syrian government forces, led by the Republican Guard, have regained the electric sub station from ISIS terrorists at the Harabesh Mountain northwest of the Deir Ezzor Airbase.
According to pro-government sources, about a dozen of ISIS members were killed in this advance.
This advance is a part of the government forces effort aimed at linking up the government-held part of the Deir Ezzor city and the Deir Ezzor Airbase. The Republican Guard and its allies stil have to recapture about 20 km of the area from ISIS terrorists in order to achive this goal.
