TEHRAN (FNA)- Tens of ISIL members were killed in the Syrian army and air force operations in different parts of the Eastern province of Deir Ezzur with the remaining terrorists fleeing the battlefield.

"50 ISIL Takfiri terrorists were killed as their dens were destroyed in the vicinity of Panorama region, al-Tharda Mountain and al-Mayadeen road in Deir Ezzur province," a military commander said on Thursday.


The Syrian army units clashed with the Takfiri terrorist groups affiliated to the ISIL after they infiltrated into the vicinity of al-Mazare’ (farms) in the Southeast of Panorama in the Southwestern outskirts of Deir Ezzur city, the commander added.


Also, field sources said that the Syrian air force targeted the ISIL terrorists' gathering centers in al-Sana'a region in Deir Ezzur while the army's artillery units inflicted heavy damage on the militants in the same region and killed dozens of them.


The Syrian fighter jets also bombed the ISIL headquarters in al-Mari'a village in the Southeastern parts of Deir Ezzur, leaving tens of terrorists dead or wounded and destroying their weapons and vehicles, they said, adding that the remaining militants fled the scene after facing the heavy fire.


In relevant developments on Wednesday, the Syrian Army's artillery units and fighter jets targeted the ISIL gatherings in the Western countryside of Deir Ezzur city, inflicting major damage on the group's military hardware in large scale.


The ISIL concentration centers in al-Sina'ah came under the heavy bombardments of the Syrian aircraft and the shelling of artillery units, which not only claimed the lives of several militants but destroyed a number of their military vehicles.


The ISIL terrorists were pinned down behind their position under the heavy shelling of the Syrian Armed Forces.

The ISIL conducted over 50 terrorist attacks on Deir Ezzur city and the Syrian army repulsed them all, battlefield reports said.
