Islamic State militants launched their
biggest attack in months on government-held areas of the Syrian city of
Deir al-Zor on Saturday, leaving dozens dead, a war monitor said.
At
least six large explosions rocked the city as the militants clashed
with government forces, the British-based Syrian Observatory for Human
Rights reported.
Syrian government warplanes hit back against Islamic State positions, it added.
Islamic
State controls most of Deir al-Zor province, which borders Iraq,
including more than half the city, and has besieged the remaining
government-held areas of the city for nearly two years.
