The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has lifted the nine month long siege imposed on the Deir Ezzor Military Airport by Daesh terrorists, Hezbollah’s official media wing reported this afternoon.

The Syrian Arab Army was capable of lifting the siege after liberating the territory around the Tahtuh and Harabish districts, forcing Daesh terrorists to retreat away from the road blocking the provincial capital from the Deir Ezzor Airport.

As a result of this progress, the Syrian Arab Army was able to meet up with their forces at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport for the very first time in nine months.

 The next objective for the Syrian Arab Army is to free the Thardeh Mountains; once secured, the Deir Ezzor Military Airport will be secured from its western perimeter.
