On Monday, Syrian government forces captured Bir ad Dulayiyat and nearby points from ISIS terrorists and started storming the ISIS-held village of Humaymah in the area near the border with Iraq.
The Syrian army and its allied militias are aimingto liberate the T2 pumpging station from ISIS terrorists. If this is done, government forces will set a foothold for an advance on the ISIS-held border town of al-Bukamal.
This may be possible soon if the Iraqi army and the Popular Mobilization Units launch own advance against ISIS on the Iraqi side of the border in the area.
