DEIR EZZOR, Jan. 18 (MNA) – An army unit carried out intensive operation on gatherings for ISIL terrorists in al-Bghailiye village in Deir Ezzor’s western countryside, reestablishing control over al-Ruwad association houses, which constitute the highest point in the village, a field source told SANA on Monday.
