The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces and pro-government tribal forces are now deployed only about 10km away from the border with the Syrian province of Deir Ezzor.
Earlier today, the SAA and tribal forces liberated the villages of Nuzayzah and Rajm Sulayman east of Sabkhawi and isloated the ISIS-held villages of Sabkhah and Ghanim Ali from the southern direction. With this move, government forces eased the storm of the aforementioned villages and got control over one of the few useful roads in the area.
