However, the Syrian government forces were able to regain control over a half of the city this year. The Syrian forces continue an offensive aimed at lifting the siege and creating supply lines for the city’s residents.

"Near Dayr Az Zawr [Deir ez-Zor], one strike destroyed a ISIS [Daesh] financial headquarters," the release stated on Friday.
