The Syrian army and its allies are «completely liberated» the border town of Abu Kamal, which was considered the last stronghold of the Islamic state.
The commanders of the «Syrian democratic army (SDF)» called the liberation of the city «by the death of the project the terrorist organization ISIL in the region.»
The monitoring group said that after negotiations, the militants moved to another part of the province of Deir al-LRC. Currently the Islamic state controls only few villages and deserted areas to the North of Abu Kamal.
Military experts have dismantled the bombs and mines that put the militants throughout the city.
Recall that in the course of the offensive, code-named Wrath of the Euphrates, which lasted nearly a year, the Alliance jointly with the United States, Britain and France released the actual capital of the Islamic state of al-Raqqah by the militants.
And just 3 years ago in 2014, ISIS managed to capture large parts of Syria and nearby Iraq. At that time about 10 million people was ruled by the terrorist group.
Peak of the reign of the self-declared state was in 2015when its leaders de-facto «erased» the border between Iraq and Syria, printed their own currency, establish their usurped laws and engaged in the organization of terrorist attacks around the world.
Despite the current strategic loss of the ISIS, experts believe that the group will remain a threat to the world community.
For example, under the command of the IG already passed the guerrilla operations in Iraq and Syria. Unrecognized quasi-state continues to inspire lone militants in attacks in the Western parts of these two countries.
