DAMASCUS Rob Havenstein Womens Jersey , Sept. 16 (Xinhua) -- The Syrian army managed to besiege Islamic State (IS) militants in parts of the country's eastern city of Deir al-Zour on Saturday, a monitor group reported.


Ten days after breaking a three-year siege of IS to Deir al-Zour, the Russian-backed Syrian forces and allied fighters turned the table against IS, laying a siege to the IS-held parts of the capital city of Deir al-Zour after capturing some key areas in its countryside, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
