The Syrian Arab Army’s 137th Artillery Brigade of the Republican Guard – backed by the 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard – imposed full control over the Armenian Cemetery of Deir Zor after a violent battle with the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) on Sunday, Horizon weekly reports.
The Syrian Armed Forces were able to liberate this strategic site in western Deir Zor after repelling the Islamic State’s offensive at the Panorama Checkpoint earlier today. As a result of ISIS’ failed offensive at the Panorama Checkpoint, the Syrian Armed Forces took the opportunity to strike back against the terrorist group and recapture the Armenian Cemetery.
