The terrorist group of ISIL launched a fierce attack against the areas  of Hweijet al-Mrei’iyeh and al-Jafra which surround the airport in Deir Ezour, eastern Syria, yet failed to control any strategic position, military sources told Al-Manar.

The sources asserted that ISIL suffered heavy losses as dozens of its terrorists were killed or injured by the Syrian army which encountered the attack.

The Syrian army also continued on Thursday targeting terrorists’ gatherings across the country, killing large numbers of them, destroying their vehicles and weapons which they were using in their attacks.
