BEIRUT - Opposition activists say Islamic State fighters have captured new areas near the eastern Syrian city of Deir el-Zour.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says the militants captured areas just north of the city on Monday, including an army base and an arms depot in the village of Ayash.
Another opposition activist, Omar Abu Leila, says ISIS fighters captured Ayash, which is just north of another town that ISIS captured over the weekend.
