ISIS launched assault at the Deir Ezzor Military Airport on Saturday, targeting the eastern entrance of this strategic installation which repelled well by syrian army.

Assault began by storming the Syrian Arab Army's defenses at the eastern entrance; this resulted in a fierce battle that ensued for approximately two hours on Saturday.

Despite their best efforts, the ISIS was unable to infiltrate the Syrian Arab Army's front-lines at both the Military Airport and Al-Jafra village.

According to a source in the Deir Ezzor Governorate, the Syrian Army destroyed 4 technical vehicles that were mounted with anti-aircraft machine guns, while also killing as many as 15 ISIS terrorists.

In response to this ISIS offensive, the Syrian Arab Air Force conducted more than 20 airstrikes on Saturday night, killing and wounding several terrorist combatants at Al-Hamidiyah, Al-Haweeqa, and Hawijah Al-Saqr, Almasdar reported.
