According to the Syrian intelligence services, Daesh militants supplied shells from Al Mayadin to launch them on mortars used to attack residential neighborhoods in the city of Deir ez-Zor, which is now controlled by the government's armed forces. Al Mayadin became the major Daesh stronghold following the liberation of Deir ez-Zor. Syrian troops are currently engaged in fighting Daesh militants in the western outskirts of the city.
It was recently reported that
Syria has been engulfed in a civil war since 2011, with the government forces fighting numerous opposition groups as well as extremist organizations. The international community has organized two platforms for discussing the reconciliation between the government and the opposition, in Geneva and Astana.
