Syrian, Iraqi intelligence destroy ISIL’s largest base in Deir Ezzor

The Syrian and Iraqi military intelligence agencies worked together this week to destroy the Islamic State’s (ISIL) largest base inside the Deir Ezzor Governorate, Iraqi Military Media reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, Iraqi military intelligence revealed to their Syrian counterpart, this week, a large Islamic State base located inside the border-city of Albukamal.

Using information from their Iraqi allies, the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) destroyed the Islamic State’s massive base in Albukamal, while also killing a large number of terrorist combatants.

In addition to destroying this base, the Syrian Air Force also destroyed 39 other Islamic State sites inside the Deir Governorate, thanks in large part to the Iraqi military intelligence.
