The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has destroyed 5 ISIS vehicles armed with machine guns and killed all terrorists in them in the province of Deir Ezzor, the Syrian Defense Minsitry said in a statement on January 30.
The SAA reportedly conducted its atttack against ISIS in the desert area near the government-held city of al-Bukamal, located at the Syrian-Iraqi border.
ISIS units operating in the Homs-Deir Ezzor desert still pose a significant threat to the government-held areas in the Euphrates Valley and along the Palmyra-Deir Ezzor highway. This threat has to be removed if the SAA seeks to establish a full control over the border area in southeastern Syria.
