“Hezbollah has sent its first group of elite fighters to the military airport in Deir Ezzur province,” the sources said.
“The Syrian army’s 104th and 137th brigades have been under ISIL siege in the Deir Ezzur for over a year now,” the sources added.
“However, this situation is expected to change in the coming weeks as Hezbollah mobilizes its elite units to help protect the provincial capital of Deir Ezzur and liberate several areas under ISIL control,” they went on to say.
Earlier this week, the Syrian soldiers targeted the ISIL concentration centers in the Southwestern and Southeastern parts of Deir Ezzur city, inflicting major losses on the militants.
The ISIL positions in Panorama in Southwestern side of Deir Ezzur and near the villages of al-Mura’yeh and its farms and near Huweijat al-Mura’yeh in Southeastern side of Deir Ezzur were massively attacked by the Syrian army men.
The ISIL suffered a heavy death toll and its booby-tapped vehicles were destroyed in the attacks.
