Syrian rebels seize artillery base

MAYADIN, Syria – After a siege that lasted nearly a month, Syrian government soldiers abandoned an artillery base in the town of Mayadin Thursday morning, handing anti-government rebels in southeastern Deir al-Zour province a key victory that will allow them to move next to the airport near the provincial capital, one of the last positions the Syrian military controls in the province.

The struggle for Deir al-Zour is an important one, with the rebels hoping to use their advance to cut off the government’s access to its oil fields.

The Syrian military still controls the roads leading into the provincial capital, also known as Deir al-Zour, though the rebels are in the process of effectively surrounding the military there.
