According to a military source near this front, the Syrian Arab Army managed to eliminate several Islamic State cells in southwestern al-Raqqa, reestablishing security around the areas used by the terrorist to launch attacks.

The Syrian Army also seized a large quantity of weapons and ammunition left behind by the terrorist group.
