Deir Ezzor, Syria (11:00 A.M.) – The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) attempted to launch a new assault in the southwestern countryside of Deir Ezzor on Thursday; however, they were never able to reach their intended destination at Jabal Thardeh.

A large ISIS convoy was traveling to Jabal Thardeh on Thursday night, when a Russian Su-34 fighter jet emerged to deliver a lethal blow to the terrorist forces in southwest Deir Ezzor.

According to a report from the Deir Ezzor Military Airport, teh Russian Air Force conducted 6 airstrikes over southwest Deir Ezzor, killing a large number of terrorists and destroying their armored vehicles that were mounted with a variety of anti-aircraft machine guns.

The Russian airstrikes were enough to deter the Islamic State militants from continuing their would-be offensive at Jabal Thardeh last night.
