I hope they should move quickly to relief Deir ez-Zur and than either move to Raqaa with SDF or chocke the pockets in Homs region.
Very unlikely there will be a dash to Deir as the defenders there seem to be safe. The SAA will have to do work to protect its flanks on that long road through the desert first and there are certainlt more important areas in other parts of Syria to liberate first.
It looks like Deir, and the Raqqa road links will be severed from the East long before the SAA gets there.
the tactic they seem to have been applying in Latakia was make your enemy think where your going to attack and then attack elsewhere, and then once there surround and leave one route out it seems to work, i think maybe will go as far as taking Arak, then once more ISIS are sent to re-enforce
Al Sukhnah they will then strike again at Zakiyah cross roads, or they may focus on Deir Hafer. But if certain areas start to break the cease fire this forces the SAA etc to turn to that front the only reason the SAA etc could send the amount of troops they did to eastern Homs was because of the ceasefire. I think with a good chance that ISIS now threatening the SAA in Daraa city in the south it wouldn't be a bad time for Russia to deploy the Su-24 and Su-25's, or more helicopters. Or if we are lucky they could showcase the Mig-29SMT and Yak-130,
or we might see the Su-30 and Su-35 make ground attacks. I am hoping that a large chunk of the rebels in the south will see sense and abandon their cause and join ranks of the government as NDF in the south to help combat ISIS because it seems the rebels down there can't cope with ISIS
