Terrorists have significantly fortified their positions in order to prevent Syrian forces from advancing towards the town of As Sukhnah, in the province of Homs, a major Daesh stronghold in the Syrian desert.
The goal of the Syrian Army is to take control over As Sukhnah for further offensive operations on Deir ez-Zor. Currently, the Syrian Army is reinforcing to launch an operation to liberate Deir ez-Zor.
Syrian government forces have control over a half of Deir ez-Zor, which has been besieged by Daesh militants for over three years. The Syrian forces continue an offensive aimed at lifting the siege and creating supply lines for the city’s residents.
