The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) continued military operations on Saturday around the region of Abu Kamal, the last position of the so-called Islamic State (IS; formerly ISIS/ISIL) in the Deir Ezzor province.
SAA operations around Abu Kamal were in full force to fully liberate the area from IS. IS has met a rapid series of defeats in Syria, with its territorial control on the brink of being completely erased.
