On Thursday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard (Harss Al-Jamhouri) attacked the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham on Central Park Street (Shara’a Al-Madeeqat Al-Markaziyeh) near the Deir Ezzor Military Airport, killing 16 enemy combatants, while capturing a doshka mounted on a pick-up truck.

The 104th Brigade was able to secure Central Park Street after fierce clashes on Thursday morning; this brief offensive began last night, when they infiltrated ISIS’ frontline defenses.

Firefights are still ongoing east of the Deir Ezzor Military Airport, where the 104th Brigade is fighting off another ISIS attack.
