The significance of Deir ez-Zor, which has come under the control of the opposition.

The Baath regime and the Assad family's rule, which have lasted for 61 years in Syria, have collapsed. The advance of opposition groups in Syria continues. Soldiers belonging to the fallen Assad regime had to withdraw their forces stationed in Deir ez-Zor. The city was left under the control of PKK/YPG. According to information obtained from security sources, opposition groups, including the Syrian National Army, have completely taken over the center of Deir ez-Zor.

SO WHY IS DEIR EZ-ZOR IMPORTANT?

The region liberated from the occupation of the terrorist organization PKK/YPG hosts some of Syria's largest energy resources. After the operation, the natural resources that PKK/YPG had seized in Syria have returned to the hands of the Syrian people.

THEY FOUND OIL WHILE DIGGING TRENCHES

In the past, images had emerged of terrorists who wanted to dig trenches in Deir ez-Zor, which was occupied by the terrorist organization, finding oil during the excavation.

WHAT IS HAPPENING IN SYRIA?

On November 27, clashes intensified between regime-opposing armed groups and Bashar al-Assad's forces in Syria. The groups had gained superiority in the largest cities such as Aleppo, Idlib, Hama, and Homs between November 30 and December 7. As the groups began to enter the capital Damascus on December 7, with the support of mass crowds, the regime completely lost control in Damascus and many other regions, leading to its collapse. As the Baath Party's 61-year rule came to an end, regime leader Assad fled the capital. Meanwhile, the Syrian National Army had also liberated the center of the district of Tal Rifaat from the terrorist organization PKK/YPG on the first day of the Operation Dawn of Freedom, which was launched in December. With the liberation of the district of Manbij during the operation, the region, which had turned into the largest terrorist stronghold west of the Euphrates River, was cleared of PKK/YPG.
