The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported that government forces retreated from al-Tanf (known as al-Waleed in Iraq) as IS advanced. The crossing is located in the Homs province 150 miles from Palmyra and allows IS to connect its positions in east-central Syria with the Iraqi Anbar province.
The extremist group now controls "more than 95,000sq km (36,679sq mi)" which is more than half of the Syrian territory. MORE
