Damascus - Noura Khowam

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) said they took al-Omar field on the eastern bank of the Euphrates river in the early hours. “Our forces managed to liberate the fields without notable damages,” said Lilwa al-Abdallah, spokeswoman for the offensive in Deir al-Zor province. The jihadists holed up in buildings in a nearby district, where the SDF was trying to hunt them down, she said.
With U.S.-led jets and special forces, the SDF has been battling in Deir al-Zor bordering Iraq. The alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias has focused on territory east of the river, which bisects the oil-rich province. The Syrian army, with Russian air power and Iran-backed militias, has been waging its own separate offensive against Islamic State, mostly to the west of the river.
The U.S.-led coalition and the Russian military have been holding deconfliction meetings - to prevent clashes between planes and troops - though the two offensives have sometimes come into conflict. Islamic State has lost vast territory across Syria, and has now come under attack in its last footholds in a strip of the Euphrates valley and the desert in Deir al-Zor.
The SDF declared victory over the jihadists in their former headquarters in Raqqa city this week. SDF fighters would now move to the frontlines in Deir al-Zor, speeding up the battle in eastern Syria. Last month, the Kurdish-led militias captured a major natural gas field upstream of Sunday’s advance.
Al-Omar oil field lies some 10 km (6.21 miles) north of the town of al-Mayadin, which government troops and their allies took earlier this month. The town had turned into a major base for Islamic State militants after the U.S.-backed offensive drove them out of Raqqa.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Islamic State fighters who had withdrawn from the oil field mounted a counter-attack overnight against government forces. The militants made some gains around al-Mayadin, the Britain-based monitor said. But a Syrian military source denied this, saying there was no significant attack and fighting raged on at the same pace.
Any attack by the Islamic State militants there was a “desperate attempt”, the source said. “The Syrian Arab Army is attacking, hitting Daesh positions...and advancing,” the source said, using the Arabic acronym for Islamic State.
In the same context, areas in Talaf town in the southern countryside of Hama, were shelled by the regime forces after the midnight of Wednesday – Thursday, and no information about injuries was reported, and the regime forces also shelled after the midnight of Wednesday – Thursday, areas in on Al-Lataminah town in the northern countryside of Hama, resulted in the death of a young man and the injury of others.
However, the warplanes carried out since yesterday after the midnight until this morning, tens of strikes which targeted areas in the north-eastern countryside of Hama, where the warplanes bombed the areas of Al-Rahjan, Mrayjib Al-Jamalan, al-Shakuziyyeh, Abu Laffah and Sarha and other areas in Al-Hamra Township in the north-eastern countryside of Hama, and no information about casualties was reported yet.
The regime forces continued their shelling after the midnight of Wednesday – Thursday, and targeted areas in Yarmouk Camp in the south of the capital, accompanied by opening fire of heavy machineguns by the regime forces on the same areas, and no information about casualties was reported.
A shell fell this morning on an area in Al-Yadudah town in the western countryside of Daraa, and another shell on an area in Qiratah village in Al-Lajat, in the north-eastern countryside of Daraa, and no information about injuries was reported, while a fighter of a rebel faction died affected by the injury he had after being shot by unidentified gunmen yesterday in Al-Yadudah town in the western countryside of Daraa
