TEHRAN, April 03 - Daesh terrorist group launched a big offensive against the US-backed forces in rural Deir Ezzor this week, targeting several areas east of the Euphrates River.

Daesh reportedly captures large oil field from US-backed forces in SyriaTEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - Daesh began their offensive by storming the key town of Al-Bahra; this would result in a series of intense clashes that lasted for several hours on Monday.

The terrorist group would ultimately take control of Al-Bahra before reinforcements from the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) arrived today to help retake the town; it is still contested.

Meanwhile, at the large Al-Saykhan Oil Field, pro-opposition activists allege that Daesh has taken control of the site following the withdrawal of the US-backed forces.

If true, this will be one of the biggest losses suffered by the US-backed forces since they launched their offensive in rural Deir Ezzor last year.
