Connecting Al-Baghouz and Al-Bokamal | New commercial crossing opened Deir Ezzor countryside

Reliable SOHR activists have confirmed that a new commercial crossing was opened by regime forces and Syria Democratic Forces in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor connecting the SDF-controlled town of Al-Baghouz, the last ISIS stronghold in east Euphrates region, and Al-Bokamal city which is under the control of regime forces and Iranian-backed militias near the Syria-Iraqi border, which is the most prominent stronghold of Iranian-backed militias in west Euphrates region.

 

The crossing was opened in the presence of military commanders and already started working. However, passing through the crossing is allowed at night only for unknown reasons.
