On October 25 morning, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) restored control over the Idustrial Area and a large part of Khassarat district in the city of Deir Ezzor, according to pro-government sources.
These areas had been controlled by ISIS terrorists.
Now, government forces are developing momentum against ISIS in Khassarat aiming to separate the ISIS-held part of Saqr Island from the rest of the ISIS-held area in Deir Ezzor. When this is done, the SAA and the NDF will be able to isolate the remaining ISIS units in Saqr Island and to clear it from the terrorists.

great to know that the russian led coalition is steadily regaining back syrian territories – all zio satanic terrorists/losers will be history inevitably
Don’t count on America not having some sneaky tricks to play yet. I expect them to make some sort of land grab for Israel.
All the illegal US colonial imperialist forces want is stealing Syria’s oil and gas resources from the mouth of the Syrian people, to keep Syria a weak, impoverished and a beggar state easily subdued and blackmailed, while overfeeding its own greedy corporate multinational oil company pigs together with revitalzing the petro-dollar with the stolen Syrian resources.
Yes. That is what they will try to do, probably in the guise of payment for rebuilding Syria. I can not see Assad or the Syrian people accepting that American’s be in their country at all. Russia will have to be very careful what they do. WW3 would be bad for everyone. America simply don’t care.
Seeing a close up view of the city really helps put thing into perspective. Urban warfare must be hell.
That’s why Raqqa was bombed into the stone age. Difference between SAA and allies vs SDF and terrorist friends.
But aren’t the SDF controlling some of the oil deposits?
Yes, through agreement with Isis rather than fighting them; hence, SAA and allies really the only ones fighting Isis and Nusra.
Yes, of course. We Southfront readers know this stuff. Another good source is Al-Masdar.
Agreed. Spelling things out is my way of allowing for newcomers to the site to get ideas they haven’t heard before as, like you said, we know this stuff and, Al-Masdar is a good site also.
This battle to liberate the whole of Deir Ezzor will take longer than people think.
This fight in Deir Ez Zor just comes more intense and more, ofc will be more and more intense when the damn Kurds keep giving safe passage to all terrorist that they come on now this days as in raqqa and all over northern Syria they just make deals no fighting and they give them transfer to Deir ez zor to fight SAA this is too fucked up….
As it becomes surrounded, saqr island will be abandoned. Isis prefers to hole up in the most densely populated areas.
