In the next day, the Syrian government troops and his union formations of the Lebanese Shiite group “Hezbollah”, most likely, will break through the blockade from the Islamic State* and will enter the city of Deir ez-Zor. This was stated in a telephone interview with Reuters agency Governor of the Province of Deir Ez-Zor Muhammad Samra. According to him, some residents of the city have already taken to the streets to express their joy.

The offensive on Deir ez-Zor, the city in the east of Syria, on the Euphrates River, was launched by the Assad army in late August. On September 3, as a result of a breakthrough of distant defensive lines of IG*, the advancing units were only 10 km from the city. According to observers, the defensive orders of the radical Islamist are in a state of complete collapse.

The fighters of IG* besieged Deir ez-Zor since 2014, they managed to capture half of the city and its environs. However, two-thirds of the city quarters and the local airport are still under the control of government forces, or rather, the 137th brigade of the Syrian army, defending Deir Ez-Zor. The city’s supply, in which, according to the UN estimates, about 95 thousand civilians remain, in the last three years have passed through the air - humanitarian goods have been dropped from a height of about 300 m.

The defeat of the IG* forces near Deir ez-Zor, which today is the last major stronghold of the supporters of the Caliph al-Baghdadi in Syria, as observers believe, will marked a strategic fracture in the war in favor of Bashar al-Assad.

The other day, the Syrian troops and special forces from the ISIS Hunters, trained with the help of Russian instructors, freed the Akerbat to the ISS Hunters for Russian instructors.

In addition, the detachments of the “democratic forces of Syria” with the support of the Kurdish militia and the US Army Special For two months have been storming the unofficial capital of IG* in Syria - the city of Rakka. However, there are fierce battles, the advancing forces, according to observers, managed to take control of only a third of the city.
