The Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard is in the final stages of capturing Sakr Island (Haweeja Sakr) in the Deir Ezzor Governorate after advancing to the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s (ISIS) stronghold at Central Park. Artillery shells and gunfire from Sakr Island can be heard throughout the day and night in the Deir Ezzor District, where civilians attempt to maintain normalcy despite the looming danger nearby.
