Airstrikes on the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor and continuous targeting to the east of the Euphrates by the regime forces

Deir Ezzor Province – The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights: the warplanes carried out two raids on areas in Al-Shahil town, in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, and information about the fall of injuries, while a number of people were injured as a result of bombing by warplanes on areas in Al-Busayrah in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor.

In the same context, the regime forces are continuing their targeting to Al-Omar oil field which is the biggest oil field in Syria, in which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights obtained information that the “Islamic State” organization withdrew from it after heavily planting it with mines, in which the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published hours ago, that confirmed information received by the SOHR about the withdrawal of ISIS from the oilfield after heavily planting it, in an attempt by ISIS to delay the control of the regime forces on the oilfield, which the regime forces managed, on Thursday the 19th of October 2017, to reach its outskirts after controlling Ziban town, after they crossed western banks of the Euphrates River through water bridges to the eastern banks. The SOHR published on Friday the 20th of October 2017 that violent clashes of Deir Ezzor ended their 40th days, by transferring the battle again from the western banks of the Euphrates River, to the eastern banks, but this time from Al-Mayadin area, and the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitored this transference, which carried out by establishing water bridges enabled the regime forces and gunmen loyal to them as well as the Russian forces to cross the Euphrates River, as a part of their efforts to impose their control on Al-Omar oil field which is the biggest oil field in Syria, after they reached the outskirts of the field, and the regime forces started their first steps, by taking the control of Ziban town, which is at a distance of few kilometers away from the field, while they continued last night, their artillery, aerial and rocket shelling on positions of the “Islamic State” organization and its controlled areas in Al-Omar oil field area, amid the continuation of escalating the military operations, as well as the continuation of the violent fighting, between the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities against the members of the “Islamic State” organization, in order to take the control of the field.
