Syrian government forces have managed to take back a hospital in the eastern city of Deir Ezzor from the ISIS Takfiri terrorists after thwarting the group’s major offensive on the city. 

Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday that the government troops wrested control over the Assad Hospital after several hours of fierce fighting with ISIS militants. 

Meanwhile, a military source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told China’s Xinhua news agency that the Syrian army freed all doctors and nurses taken hostage by the terrorists inside the health care institution.

United Nations Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimates that over 400,000 people have been killed in the conflict that has gripped Syria since March 2011.
