15:56Now PlayingSyrian rebel forces said they took control of the oil-rich eastern city of Deir al-Zour, as they try to secure the country's resources.
Hassan Abdul-Ghani, a senior commander of the main Islamist militant group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), said his fighters had liberated the city and its military airport.
"Our forces have seized the entire city of Deir al-Zour," the rebels said in a statement.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) - a war monitor based in the UK - says that Kurdish forces previously controlling the city had withdrawn to other localities.
Kurdish forces had taken the city after former President Bashar al-Assar withdrew his troops earlier in the week.
