TEHRAN (FNA)- The Syrian ground force and choppers defended government positions in al-Jubeileh and al-Sina districts in Deir Ezzur East of Syria, killing at least 33 ISIL militants and wounding several others, sources said.
The sources said that the ISIL terrorists began their assault at the al-Jubeileh district, when one of the combatants drove his vehicle borne improvised explosive device (VBIED) into the al-Fardous Mosque, which resulted in the complete destruction of the building, along with the death of a dozen civilians.
Following the ISIL suicide attack at the al-Fardous Mosque, the terrorist group stormed the Syrian Army’s frontline defenses at the Northern sector of the al-Jubeileh district, where they found little success due to the fierce resistance from the soldiers entrenched inside the surrounding buildings.
With little progress made and over 15 casualties reported, the terrorist group withdrew from the Northern sector of al-Jubeileh in order to evade the Syrian Hind Helicopters that were lurking around these neighborhoods.
In addition to their assault on the al-Jubeileh district, the ISIL conducted a number of attacks on the Syrian army’s positions at the al-Sina’a (Industrial) and Al-‘Amal (Workers) districts; however, they were unsuccessful in their infiltration attempt, as the Syrian army’s 137th Artillery Brigade of the 17th Reserve Division forestalled their advance before forcing them to withdraw to the East.
Meanwhile, Southeast of the al-Sina’a district, the terrorist group carried out another assault on the Deir Ezzur airbase; but, unlike their other attacks, this attack did not last very long, as the soldiers entrenched at the Eastern gates destroyed 3 of the ISIL’ armored vehicles, while also killing 18 enemy combatants before the terrorist group withdrew from the base.
