SDF's Advances in Energy-Rich Region
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) captured another oilfield in Eastern Deir Ezzur, dissident-affiliated websites reported on Tuesday, adding that the SDF is now one step closer to direct clashes with the Syrian Army.


The news websites reported that the SDF imposed full control over Murad oilfield on the Eastern bank of the Euphrates River in Deir Ezzur province and the two small towns of al-Hasyan and Abu Hardoub in the region.

In the meantime, field sources said that the SDF invasion of more oilfields in Eastern Deir Ezzur has increased the possibility of direct confrontation with the army soldiers who mission is mainly capturing control over the energy-rich regions.    

Media sources disclosed on Sunday the Syrian Army troops were preparing for attacking the Kurdish-majority Syrian Democratic Forces in Deir Ezzur to capture the oil and gas fields under their control after President Bashar al-Assad blasted the Kurds' betrayal to the country and their close cooperation with the American invaders.

The Arabic-language al-Hadath news quoted the Russian papers as saying that the Syrian intelligence service rests assured that Kurds and the US officers played a key role in evacuating ISIL's Chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and seven of his close aids from his hideout in Iraq to a US-run base in Ra'as al-Ein and then to Rmeilan in Hasaka province in Northeastern Syria.

Al-Hadath further said that the Kurdish militants are likely to retreat from Eastern Syria in the new year, adding that the Syrian Army's elite units are now prepared to take control of oil and gas fields on the Eastern bank of the Euphrates River that the Kurds occupied with the US back up.

In went on to say that the Syrian Army plan to use an assault strategy similar to the Iraqi troops' Kirkuk liberation operation.

According to the report, the Syrian Army Command plans to give the last ultimatum to the Kurds to deliver control of oil and gas fields to the government troops before waging the attack.
