On Sunday, pro-government forces continued their advance against US-backed factions of the so-called Free Syrian Army (FSA) in southeastern Syria.
The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies liberated seized the important height of Tal Najjar and established a fire control over the nearby area.
On Saturday, SAA-led forces captured the Um Izn hills east of the FSA-held pocket in the eastern desert.
These advances allow government forces to increase their control over the eastern Syrian border and create condictions for further operations in the area.
