Commander Hassan Abdul Ghani announced the successful takeover of Deir Az Zor, emphasizing that both the city and its military airport are fully liberated from opposition forces. This victory marks a significant point in the ongoing conflict, showcasing the capability of the coalition of opposition fighters after they have rapidly expanded their control in regions formerly held by pro-government forces.
The recent capture of Deir Az Zor city by opposition forces adds to a series of swift victories over the past weeks, including the fall of the capital, Damascus, which has led to a significant shift in power dynamics within Syria.
Despite the coalition's success in Deir Az Zor, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces maintain control over certain eastern sections of the governorate, reflecting the complex and multifaceted nature of the Syrian conflict, where various factions vie for control.
The United States played a mediating role in a ceasefire agreement between the Syrian Democratic Forces and the Turkish-backed Syrian National Army, a crucial step for achieving stability in the contested areas and preventing further escalation of violence.
