Isis at Deir Ezzor lost Dashisha. The SDF at Deir Ezzor, after a very fast offensive, conquered the stronghold of the Islamic State and is now at less than 3 kilometers from the border between Syria and Iraq. The Round Up Operation (Jazeera Storm) against the Daesh militia in the city, with the support of the air fighters of Baghdad and of the Global Coalition together with the French artillery of the Wagram Task Force, lasted less than 24 hours. The jihadists were already weakened by the continuing air raids and attacks. And to this, one must add the fact that many had escaped towards the southern area and the Middle Euphrates Valley (MERV). As a consequence, the garrison was left in the residential area and was therefore submerged by the wave of the Arab-Kurdish forces. The battle in the area however is not over. The jihadists, in fact, are moving towards the village of Nasser, the Tel Safuya hill and the outpost of Tal Safoq, at the border. As soon as they will be free, they will fall back towards the southern area of the province.
