On November 13, pro-government forces, led by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) Tiger Forces advanced further towards the border city of al-Bukamal along the western bank of the Euphrates.
The Tiger Forces captured the village of Bir Daham and the hill of Milhim near the ISIS-held village of As Salhiyah. The village is located 40km northeast of Deir Ezzor.
The advance’s aim is to put an additional pressure on ISIS and to ease the situation in al-Bukamal.
