The ISIS-held area is rapidly shrinking in the city of Deir Ezzor. On November 1, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces and the Republican Guard liberated Jubaliyah neighborhood, the central park area, the school of law and education area and the southern part of Hamidiyah neighborhood.
Thus, over the last few days, ISIS has lost over 40% of the area that it had been controlling in the northern part of the city.
On November 2, the Tiger Forces and the Republican Guard advanced deeper in Hamidiyah engaging ISIS in an intense fighting. If the ISIS defense there collapses, the terrorist group will have no chances to resist further attacks of government forces any notable amount of time.
As soon as Deir Ezzor is liberated, the SAA and its allies will focus on clearing the rest of the western bank of Euphrates from ISIS.
On November 1, six Tu-22M3 strategic bombers flew over the territory of Iran and Iraq and carried out a massive strike on ISIS positions near the ISIS-held border town of al-Bukamal. The strikes destroyed outposts, ammunition and weapons depots belonging to the terrorist group.
Meanwhile, the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces seized the villages of al-Akidat and al-Bakaara east of Deir Ezzor city. 29 ISIS members were reportedly killed in the clashes there. Now, the SDF fully encircled the ISIS-held town of al-Busarityah and cut off the only road that could be used by the SAA to reach it. Soon, the SDF will start storming the town itself.
Late on November 1, Israeli warplanes bombed a copper factory in Hisyah Industrial Area 30km south of Homs city. Local sources added that the factory was hit with 7 unspecified munitions. In response, the 72 brigade of the Syrian Air Defense Forces launched an unspecified ground to air missile at the Israeli warplanes. The missile exploded east of al-Qusayr city near the Syrian-Lebanese border. No hits were reported.
The 72 brigade of the Syrian Air Defense Forces is mainly armed with the old-fashioned Soviet-made S-75 air defense system.

although recent statements indicate from Russia that they near the end of their campaign….presumably all constructs have been put in place for these remaining concerns, in order to promulgate the de-escalation areas and further peace agreements between various groups, of which their were some 31 or 32 present at recent Astana talks in Sochi.
*Breaking News*
Syrian Government Forces have fully liberated Deir Er-Zor
https://www.rt.com/news/408664-deir-ezzor-liberated-syria/
Congratulations to Syria and its allies.
The full liberation of Deir Ezzor after hunting down the few remaining ISIS suicide snipers will free up several thousands of troops for the front further down the Euphrates towards ISIS’ last stronghold on Syrian soil, Bukamal. The second axis from T2 – rumors are that IRGC’s Commander Qassem Soleimani has been spotted – is currently about 45km from Bukamal.
The Iraqis meanwhile are right at the gates of Qaim, the last bigger city held by ISIS in Iraq. ISIS most likely won’t survive 2017 – not in Syria, not in Iraq.

I have seen a number of SF reports and they do a good job but to me there is a mighty elephant in the room which is being ignored.
Of course we have all cheered on the brave SAA who with their allies’ help have cleared out a lot of terrorists from central and western Syria.
But the elephant in the room is the US military occupation of Syria east of the Euphrates.
I have been looking for facts about this. Are there examples of diplomatic pressure on the US to leave ? What was the effect? What is the Russian attitude to this occupation?
TASS reported that the terrorists now only control 5% of the country and that the war is nearly over therefore.
Well that can’t be right.
The area east of the Euphrates, is about a fifth of Syria’s landmass and the US are building their capacity in the South East at the same time as Turkey has said it intends to install 8 military bases in Northern Syria.
Of coursed we want to emphasise the positive but the reality is and always has been that the real enemy of Syria is the US/Israel.
In Eastern Syria the government face 2 powerful forces –
1) The US military who are in charge – let’s be clear – and bombing Syria along with the Israelis daily and have mullitple bases.
2) The US military’s proxies, comprising thousands of assorted anti-Assad forces of terrorists, Kurds, SFD, US/Israeli special forces and have weapons pouring in.
The terrorist groups change their brand names and outfits regularly but they are paid by the USA/Israel and a few other NATO countries.
Russia drew a line at the Euphrates some time back ( following a Syrian jet shoot down which was a test by the US to ascertain Russia’s resolve. The Russians said they would provide air cover west of the Euphrates only) a clear sign to the US to grab Eastern Syria and of course it’s major oil fields which is precisely what they have done.
They steal Syrian oil to fund the war against it.
I won’t go into the developments now at Al Tanf or the newly expanded Turkish occupation in the north. These are serious enough to warrant discussion on their own. ( What IS Turkey playing at?) but I have to say, though I wish it wasn’t true that – given the Russians understandable fear of engaging US forces – Syria is not going to reclaim the territory east of the Euphrates and as far as I can see things are not going well at all.
The fact that these multiple US bases in the east were ignored in writings about Syria makes the realisation that the country is being carved up all the more shocking.
I read that Russia may soon “skeletonise” it’s already small military presence in Syria.
If that happens imho, it will see the terrorists return and US bombing increase.
I have greatly admired Assad and Putin though I always thought Lavrov talking to Kerry was a joke being played on Russia to simply waste time – turns out to have been 100% true
( The Saker said in an article about RT/Sputnik that they – the Russians – don’t realise what they are up against, I totally agree)
We can’t know everything and I hope I’m wrong but I don’t forsee Syria being “allowed” to escape free and clear – ever.
To me the facts seem clear: The US military and it’s proxies now occupy eastern Syria and are staying. The US and it’s proxies are increasing their presence in the South as well. Turkey now plans to occupy the north west of the country. Israel and the US bomb Syria with impunity, a process they can ramp up whenever they want. If Israel can bomb Damascus as it just has, they can destroy the government.
Please prove me wrong someone because I very much want to be mistaken but that’s they way it looks.
Has addressed some of your concerns:
“ISIS will be herded into a killing zone, it could be in the Doubayat cauldron (higher risk) or pushed toward the other side of the Euphrates and pushed against the US backed terrorists (my preferred option).
There is, understandably, a hype against the Syrian Kurds/SDF etc.. but this hype is based on the sole aspect of the US presence in Syria. We have to keep in mind the SDF does not control any major town (one could argue Hasaka, but Hasaka is not under SDF control at all, co control at best), without major towns and business/trade centers, the SDF control small villages, agriculture fields/oil fields and desert.
Raqqa does not exist anymore, the city is gone, infra structure was completely destroyed and the city is in rubble. Guess who is the the only one that can pay and has the interest to rebuild it ? The Syrian Government.
That is the reason to hold Deir ez Zour, Hasaka and Qamishli was so important. The Syrian Government was playing the long game of unity.
After ISIS is completely defeated in Syria and al Bukamal/lower Euphrates is ISIS free, the US “mission” in Syria will be illegally and officially over.
That coupled with the PYD/SDF refusal of the northern Syria autonomy recently granted by the Syrian Government with the condition of retreating from occupied Arab land, the collapse of SDF will be very visible and quickly.
One unanswered question will be: how the US regime will react to “mission over” plus illegal presence in Syria, plus international pressure (Russia, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran etc…) to leave the northern Syria region ?
Good days ahead for Syria. Al Qaeda will be hunted down in NW Syria.”
I am sorry. I wish it was like you say but not one single fact I have presented has been disproved and your comment seems more like wishful thinking.
You say – “After ISIS is completely defeated in Syria and al Bukamal/lower Euphrates is ISIS free, the US “mission” in Syria will be illegally and officially over.”
Do you really believe that? The US will just go away?
Everything the US military do in other peoples’ countries is illegal. Have they ever shown a willingness to abide by international law up til now? So why would they care now?
Is there even any organised opposition to these wars within the US itself? No.
You also say “One unanswered question will be: how the US regime will react to “mission over” plus illegal presence in Syria, plus international pressure (Russia, Iraq, Turkey, Syria, Iran etc…) to leave the northern Syria region ?”
What international pressure?
I don’t see a gram of international pressure.
Has there been a UNSC resolution condemning America? No.
The UN has never even criticised the US for it’s atrocities anywhere.
In fact the only thing the mighty United Nations has done recently is to cook up a false report blaming Assad for a chemical weapons attack. Show me the international pressure you speak of.
I wish it existed.
Russia has no influence whatsoever over the US, quite the opposite, the US goes out of it’s way to frustrate and harm Russia. ( Watch Moldova and the US occupation of the Ukrainian Black Sea in 2018 for “new” areas of terrorism right on Russia’s front doorstep, like Eastern Syria hardly even reported on of course)
Syria has been complaining for months about the US air raids killing civilians and as you say Raqqa is gone. What response from the UN? Zero.
Despite “beefed up military kit” I have yet to even see a single US bomber shot down. Either the Syrians/Russians don’t have the ability to shoot down a plane or more likely or are too fearful of US reprisals but you don’t prevail in a war by letting the enemy do what they like.
And In this war the US does anything it likes.
Yes, Syria, Iran and Russia would like the US out but they have no ability to bring any pressure on the US. None.
You mention ISIS but ISIS or the many other splinter terrorist groups were never the real problem.
If you go to the doctor covered in spots he doesn’t treat each spot individually. He cures the disease at the heart of the problem. ISIS are only the spots. The disease remains unaffected.
No their “mission” isn’t over. They want Syria out of the way so they can attack Iran.
Your mentioned Turkey whom I guess you think are allies of Syria? Well here they are –
“Hundreds of Turkey-backed Chinese Militants Arrive in Syria to Fight Gov’t Forces|”
http://en.farsnews.com/newstext.aspx?nn=13960812000158
“The websites added that the newly-arrived terrorists have been equipped with the most modern weapons, adding that the terrorists have been trained by the Turkish intelligence service to join war on the Syrian army in the provinces of Lattakia, Idlib and Hama”
Chinese terrorists . . oh yes Erdogan is on “our” side. Huh!
Whilst I join with you in wishing good days for Syria ahead, I don’t see it happening. Please look more objectively at the facts.
I said many months ago ago that imho China should have gone in big time with Russia declared a real war on terror and mopped it up within a year making a clear statement in a planned and finite action which would have set the US back.
Now they are stuck having lost a huge chunk of their country and the Zionist forces with infinite money and infinite weapons and near infinite supplies of terrorists and infinite money will go on and on like in Afghanistan til they complete their mission – the destruction of sovereign middle east states and the seizure of their oil in the Rothschild plan for total global control.
Why am I so Sure? Because nobody ever confronts them and challenges them. The Vietnamese showed it could be done but nobody today will hence they win and humanity loses. Every time.

“We have to keep in mind the SDF does not control any major town (one could argue Hasaka, but Hasaka is not under SDF control at all, co control at best), without major towns and business/trade centers, the SDF control small villages, agriculture fields/oil fields and desert.”
The quote forget Tabqa and the massive dam controlled by SDF and the US- supply of nearly all the water to Aleppo city and a massive electricity resource all surrounded by prime agricultural land
http://pennyforyourthoughts2.blogspot.ca/2017/03/taking-raqqa-dam-airport-captured-us.html
” Lake Assad is the most important source of drinking water to Aleppo, providing the city through a pipeline with 80,000,000 cubic metres (2.8×109 cu ft) of drinking water per year.”
You have sorely underestimated the resources under USraael/PKK/SDF control.
good thoughts………thanks……is there a question that a country should only be as large as it can be defended by its own forces to kerp the integrity of its cultural identity….hence the ussr “shrank” to the RF…..and the tripartite Rusdia Turkey Iran group is hoping or “relying”as far as they can on deescalation zones according to their definition not the one by the usa coalition imposing their ideology….there seems to have been at times some disagreement or even discord between Syria government wishes and what it senses is being bluntly told or imposed upon them by the Astana process which seems to be ? relying too much on wishful thinking, being hailed potentially as a national model of reconciliation and deconfliction( and yes what has been done by Russian military intelligence and diplomatic skills at a local level is surely remarkable)……but like Minsk, is this process sustainable in the face of international adversity eg Israel has attacked Syria some 24 times I think I read yesterday……so what are the real big options….is there hopefully somethinv we do not know about…..a few FOAB on their way to Raqqa and al Tanf in conjunction that a hopefully successful de dollarisation is gonna persuade usa to get the heck out of where they are not wanted….though personally I would wish usa to be broken morally and physically in its foreign policies and be kept locked behind its own geographical boundaries of its insane asylum…..is VVP of the belief that such a great peoples as he has said of the american peoples, does have a right to an international presence in the destiny of the world…..but of what kind, equal to any other UNSC or UN member , although so far usa seems to have broken every rule of the rule book and morality too……
Agreeing with _smr.
When ISIS is mopped up, SAA & allies troops will be freed to face off Americans.
An ultimatum will be given, ‘war on terror’ is won now leave or else…
and this demand will be made public so that any country that wishes can follow
Syria’s example. 800 bases all over the world? Well time to start packing.
My guess, Philippines, Afghanistan, maybe some ~stans will follow immediately.
Australia too if they are smart (most likely not).
Mutti Merkel will be hesitant and not demand “Ami go home” immediately but she sure
will be taking notice. She will act only when she feels safe to do so. But she will act.
“When ISIS is mopped up, SAA & allies troops will be freed to face off Americans”
Well it would be great if that happened and the US left but this was my whole point and regrettably I completely disagree with you that that will ever happen.
I do not believe that the SAA and allies will ever attack US occupation forces in the fifth of the country east of the Euphrates.
Right now the SAA are clearing out the Euphrates valley but when that is done I don’t think they can go east towards Al Hasakah because apart from anything else – not only will they not attack US forces but I don’t think the Russians are offering any air cover east of the Euphrates.
This seem to be a US airforce “zone”
They’d have no chance.
I stand willing to be corrected if indeed there is Russian air support east of the Euphrates.
The Syrians have fought brilliantly but now they are stuck. Their country is occupied big time in the east by US forces with 12 bases and an army of assorted proxies and the US are also occupying territory in the south around Al Tanf and the Turks have announced a plan to occupy Syria in the north with 8 new military bases inside Syria.
No one ever attacks US forces in Syria.
“UPDATE: SYRIA BATTLEFIELD.
https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/iraqi-fighters-enter-syria-block-us-backed-forces-taking-albukamal-report/
_Iraqi troops enter _Syria to stop US backed forces taking the border city of Albukamal.
1. The capture of Albukamal cements the Syrian army’s control of eastern Syria and consolidates the continuous belt of anti-USraeli forces from Iran to the Mediterranean coast (Syria).”
Historic step, a decisive move toward The Arch of Stability — from Syria through Iraq to Iran.
I have posted a few times here and will stop at this but I absolutely urge everyone doubting what I have said to read this –
“The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) welcome the US’s ever-increasing presence in Syria, although all this constitutes an invasion and has never been condoned by the country’s government in Damascus.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, the SDF’s senior official said that the US had created a military base in the Syrian city of Raqqa, which was recently liberated from Daesh terrorists.
The United States is building military bases in the areas freed by our forces from terrorists. . .”
Couldn’t be more plain Bases plural.
“The base and the adjacent territory are reliably protected by American soldiers. No one, except these soldiers and SDF fighters, has access to the base,” the official concluded.
In an interview with Sputnik on Friday, Muhammed Kheir al-Akkam, professor of international relations at the University of Damascus, specifically pointed to the US’s “fully coordinated move to replace Daesh with the SDF” in Syria.
In another development on Friday, the Russian Reconciliation Center for Syria said that the US had established a military base near the town of At Tanf on the Syria-Iraq border without the Syrian government’s permission and banned anyone from coming within 55 kilometers
Now do people get it? “the US’s ever-increasing presence “, and “the US’s “fully coordinated move to replace Daesh with the SDF” in Syria. And ever more bases.
https://alethonews.wordpress.com/2017/11/04/my-world-my-rules-us-creates-another-base-in-syria-sdf-reveals/
While we have been focused on Daesh defeats in other places, the US is creating partition and building up a large military occupation force in Syria.
The country is being partitioned.
Aprreciate your posts.thanks.
Southfront just posting that SAA is going to free Raqqa…..note Aleppo residents have gone on strike against SDF trying to enforce conscription cos they have lost so many of their own recently….
Follow up…attempted assassination on commander of SDF in Manbij…..becoming increasingly unpopular?
Lebanese Prime Minister Saad Hariri Announces Sudden Resignation – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201711041058812587-lebanese-prime-minister-saad-hariri-resignation/
“In a televised address on Saturday, Prime Minister Hariri announced an unexpected resignation saying the atmosphere in the country resembles that before the assassination of his father, former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri, who was killed in 2005.
Hariri also lashed out at Iran and its ally Hezbollah, a Shi’ite militia operating in Lebanon for interfering in the affairs of Arab countries. He added that Tehran’s arms in the region will be cut off.
Reuters also reported that the resignation follows Hariri’s recent visit to Saudi Arabia, where he met with Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and other high-profile officials.
The Saudi-born businessman…”
Good riddance. With this zionazi quisling gone maybe Lebanon will be better able to defend herself against israeli incursions and possible planned upcoming invasion. In fact, the quisling’s resignation may indicate a new israeli invasion in the works. Given the israelis killed his father in a cowardly, typically israeli, attack, the level of this “person’s” self debasement taking the shekel is truly amazing. Another example that it is the very worst elements of society who become quislings and shills for the zionazis.
Very significant development. Crunch time rapidly approaching. in Syria, Many major developments as it seems the whole avalanche is beginning to slide.
The US taking it’s orders from Israel as usual.
US forces are building up and below are quotes from Gordon Duff and Nahed al Husaini at VT
“as the “ISIS experiment” draws to a close . . .our sources say Hariri’s resignation signals a new round of conflicts.
The new “proxy war” intended to replace ISIS will have a major terror component and, according to Syrian security sources, threaten the Gulf States, Europe and the US.
As of this writing, last of ISIS, their leaders and most dedicated surviving fighters, are being ferried through SDF lines and moved to safe havens among the refugee camps along the Syrian Jordanian border.
Syrian officials report that these camps, which are not open to aid organizations or other NGO’s, are providing terror training and refitting of up 20,000 fighters who survived the Syrian and Iraq battles.
Simultaneously, at the US training camp at al Tanf in Southern Syria, the remnants of ISIS are being gathered from around the region and reformed into a new Saudi/US backed “moderate opposition,” to reopen a front on Syria’s southern flank, where Saudi Arabia’s military can be deployed.
The US has built a series of bases across Syria with one inside the city of Raqqah coming online in early November. There are also bases at Rimelan in Hasakah Governate, Kobani in Aleppo Province and a major base in Sheddai, near Syria’s largest oil deposits, a coincidence of course.
US led convoys from Palmyra and Qualamon were spotted today, as were a dozen or more helicopters gathering terrorists from both Syria and Iraq.
The “Eastern Lion Group,” in Jordan, under the supervision of the MOK, the multi-national war room, US, Saudi, British, Israeli, will be mobilized against Syria.
Simultaneously, there are political moves inside Iraq against former Prime Minister Maliki and the governing Shiite coalition”

This won’t be sorted at Astana or Sochi. Talk wherever you can but at the end of the day US military power will decide the outcome. They are the brute force behind all the various anti Assad groups. Zionists pulling the strings.
It may be that US resolve is poor – hope so – but Israel controls them and their military posture suggests determination.
How will Russia respond?
LOL,
Veterans Today is just another fake-news outlet. They even admitted it some time ago.
‘ to reopen a front on Syria’s southern flank, where Saudi Arabia’s military can be deployed.’
Yes, the same Saudi Army that had much success in Yemen /sarcasm.
Not to mention the standoff with Qatar.
Or domestic turbulences because
1. State deficits thus less money to pay off various tribes
2. Pushing for reform in the most backward society ever – read ‘backlash’
3. Saudi Shia population unrests – maybe not in the news but can be ignited on demand by Iran
And this Saudi Army will deploy in Syria? Not likely. But we sure should tremble from fear, LOL!
Confirmed, the hariri resignation initiated a new zionazi terror strategy.

Absurdities of Syrian war propaganda
https://www.rt.com/op-edge/408618-syria-war-propaganda-media-west/
Excellent article from Bartlett reviewing some of the zionazi propaganda psywar and their actual support of terrorists. Some excerpts:
“In Syria, there never was a “revolution.” Instead, it was a premeditated war on Syria by foreign powers (namely the US, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Turkey, and Israel) who armed even Al-Qaeda (something Qatar recently admitted). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Piq34SaF_2o
I would later become very familiar with Channel 4 and Guru Murthy’s relentless anti-Syria propaganda and romanticization of the terrorist factions in Syria, white-washing their crimes, relying on Al-Qaeda and other very partial sources.
Guru Murthy produced a report embedded with the Nour al-Din al-Zinki faction, who he deemed “moderates,” although some months prior they had savagely beheaded Abdullah Issa, a Palestinian boy. Not initially a problem for Channel 4, they did later remove the incriminating video. https://www.thecanary.co/global/2016/10/14/channel-4-news-promoted-known-war-criminals-syria-now-hiding-report-video/
In April 2016, the Guardian reported that a Syrian or Russian airstrike “completely destroyed” the Quds hospital in Sukkari, Aleppo. The Guardian later claimed civilians were being treated in the same hospital after a chlorine gas attack, not researching that the sole chlorine gas factory in Syria had been taken over by Al-Nusra in 2012.
The original lie about Al-Quds’ destruction came from Médecins Sans Frontières, which claimed Quds had been “destroyed,” reduced “to rubble.” Since the Guardian was complicit in reproducing the lie, why didn’t the Guardian at least go to see the Quds hospital after Aleppo was secured? I did.
In June 2017, I stood inside the intact hospital. It was never destroyed.
ISIS terrorist bedfellows with Israel
In July 2017, the Washington Post reported on an Israeli attack on Syria, citing Benjamin Netanyahu as saying they had attacked Syria “dozens” of times. Mint Press News reported on Israel giving medical treatment to over 3,000 terrorists. A 21st Century Wire article said the preference of Israeli politicians was even for an ISIS victory in Syria.
According to the Times of Israel, ISIS has opened fire on Israel and apologized. This is the jihadist group, ISIS, which doesn’t attack the natural target, Israeli regime occupying Palestine, but instead, collaborates with it.
The above examples don’t even begin to cover the depth of war propaganda on Syria, but they do serve as warnings to consider from where corporate media are getting their claims, and what agenda their claims serve. Hint: it isn’t an agenda of bringing peace to the Syrian people. Maybe it’s time to start believing us “Russian propagandists”: you know, those who actually go and speak to Syrians, instead of citing Al-Qaeda affiliated sources.”
I have been asking these same questions all along as anonymous: what is the point of the Russian program in Syria?
the way things are going Russia might as well have let Syria be rolled up by the empire, circled up its wagons and be prepared to defend Russia from its borders.
there is no avoiding confrontation with the empire anyway. its just a matter of time as long as Russia opposes the empire. Russia on the other hand can give up now, stop wasting time in Syria and allow the empire to re-occupy Russia itself, accept their national evisceration and a Russian role as hewers of wood and drawers of water for the empire, supplier of oil/gas/gold etc.
all that’s going on in Syria is a farce as far as I see, a dangerous loss of life, few Russians killed but tons of Syrians..and stunningly refusal to give or sell to Syria what it needs for its defense against Israel. I mean what the hell is that? that is the most incredible thing I have seen yet?
Russia goes into Syria to defend Syria against Jihadis but sits by and allows Israel to attack Syria without fear and full of confidence. at the same time you allow the americans to grab huge parts of Syria unopposed. but it is the americans/Israels who set up the Jihadi attack on Syria, so to lose to any of them..or to all three combined.. its the same thing. so why fight one and not the others in the same location and issue?
its like some plan now being exposed was organized between the Russians and Israelis/Americans..and Turkey?.. to carve up Syria in a particular manner. Russia will not shoot down Israeli, planes, leave a huge area of Syria unprotected allowing the americans to grab it and establish themselves there. ‘ do not fly here’ Putin said. ‘fly there.. its ok!’
and Putin was always in conferences with Netanyahu and Erdogan anyway. were they making deals according to the way things are shaping up now on the Syrian ground?
all of this is a waste of time… atrocious, anti-life games being played on humanity by heartless, cold adapted white men without human conscience, or humanity of any sort at all.
the late great human species! long live the human species
The latest from the battle of Al Bukamal,
“For few days SAA scouts were near Akash oil field flanking the Baktal border crossing (20 Kms from Bukamal). With the impressive ISF/PMU/Hizballah advance toward al Qaim and clearing ISIS from the border, the IRGC, SAA, Hizballah managed to advance and occupy the Syria-Iraq border all the way to Baktal.
The allied forces are now encircling al Bukamal from roughly 3 axis:
1) Western approach : Baktal/Akash
2) Southern approach : from Hiri village under Syria/Iraq forces control (2 kms from al Bukamal).
3) Eastern approach: this is a very surprising one, Iraq forces crossed the Euphrates toward Syria-Iraq border and are heading to liberate several villages on the eastern side of the river, such as al-Baghuz at-Tahtani, Bāghūz Fawqānī etc, won’t see them storming al Bumakal from there, but it will block SDF-ISIS-US combined approach and block ISIS still inside al Bukamal from fleeing toward SDF-US, it seems a herding strategy is on going for a killing ground in the Syrian desert.”
A high-ranking Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) official has told Sputnik Turkiye that the US continues to supply them with arms and has recently delivered 120 trucks loaded with heavy armament and armored vehicles for the Deir ez-Zor operation.
“The US has supplied us with Hummer armored vehicles and heavy armament for the Deir ez-Zor operation, including missiles, infra-red guidance missiles, machine guns, mine throwers, Kalashnikov assault rifles and other ammunition,” the SDF source told Sputnik Turkiye on condition of anonymity.”

“Syrian news agency SANA has reported that terrorists of the rebranded al-Nusra Front have chemical weapons, which they are hiding in the Syrian province of Idlib.
The agency cited its local sources as saying that the toxic materials are kept in numerous depots in a number of villages and towns, specifically in Ghazleh and Ma’arat Misrin, nine kilometers north from the city of Idlib.
The sources alleged that some of the toxic substances have been made locally, while other chemical weapons were manufactured abroad, specifically in the US.
The informants also pointed out that the terrorist groups operating in Ma’arat Misrin are able to manufacture missiles capable of delivering the toxic chemicals up to 15 km.
The agency warns that al-Nusra terrorists might try to use the chemical weapons against civilians in an attempt to further accuse the Syrian Arab Army.”
