The Syrian
army and its allies recaptured an oilfield from Islamic State near
the eastern city of Deir al-Zor on Saturday in further advances
against the militants, state TV reported.
Government
forces this week broke through Islamic State lines to reach a
government-held enclave of the city besieged for years by the
jihadists, and are fighting to reach a nearby air base which IS still
surrounds.
On Saturday,
the army and militias fighting alongside it seized the Teym oilfield
in desert south of Deir al-Zor, state TV said. Deir al-Zor is in an
oil-rich area of Syria.
