Syrian rebel forces, led by commander Hassan Abdul Ghany, have taken full control of the eastern Syrian city of Deir ez-Zor on Tuesday. The city was previously held by the US-backed Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), who have withdrawn from the region. The seizure of the Deir ez-Zor Governorate building by the Turkish-backed Syrian opposition marks a significant shift in control over this strategic city.
