Morning Star.png Syrian Government Troops Drive Back Isis on 2 Fronts The Morning Star, London, 16 March 2016 Syrian troops advanced against Islamic State (Isis) on two fronts yesterday, keeping up the momentum as Russia's six-month intervention came to an end. In eastern Deir Ezzor, soldiers backed by reservists and local tribesman liberated the Thardeh mountains from Isis forces besieging the city of 200,000 people. Troops also advanced to the Thayyem oil fields, which were captured by Isis in January.

But the death cult's forces have been weakened as reinforcements were sent to counter Syrian special forces attacking the ancient city of Palmyra. General Suheil al-Hassan's shock troops advanced towards the village of Al-Dawah yesterday despite suffering heavy casualties. If liberated, Palmyra could be the key to lifting the siege of Deir Ezzor and striking at the Isis stronghold of Raqqa.
