The Syrian Arab Army’s 137th Artillery Brigade of the 17th Reserve Division – backed by the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Hashd Al-Sha’abi – launched a counter-attack against the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) militants in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor on Friday, targeting the terrorist group’s positions near the Thardeh Mountains and Panorama Checkpoint.

This counter-assault would prove successful, as the Syrian Armed Forces and Hashd Al-Sha’abi were able liberate several points between the Panorama Roundabout and Thardeh Mountains. As a result of this government counter-attack on Friday, the Islamic State terrorists were forced to retreat further north towards the oil rich town of Al-Shoulah, where they found themselves under heavy bombardment by the Syrian Arab Air Force; almasdar reported.
