[16] The battle resulted in an Islamic State victory, after a series of counterattacks caused the Syrian Army to withdraw from the positions it had retaken in western Raqqa Governorate.

[19][better source needed] The next day, government troops captured the Zakiyah crossroad on the Hama-Raqqa provincial border, bringing them to within 47 kilometers from the ISIL-controlled Tabqa Air base.

[1] Between 3 and 4 June, the Syrian Army returned to the Raqqa Governorate for the first time since 2014, and captured the first village inside the province (Abu Allaj), 35–40 kilometers from Tabqa.

[23] The next day, the Syrian Army seized Tal SyriaTel hill, ISIL's last line of defense before the village,[24] and soon after Abu Allaj was recaptured.

[31] The Syrian Army reached the al-Rasafeh crossroad on June 8,[32] and took control of the area two days later, with government forces being 15–20 kilometers from Tabqa.

[46][47] However, a new ISIL counter-attack later in the day recaptured both the Thawrah and Sfaiyeh oil fields,[48] as well as the al-Rasafeh crossroad, pushing back the Army to the border of Raqqa province, 40 kilometers from the air base.

[5] On 22 June, they withdrew from their final points in western Raqqa including Zakiyah crossroad and SyriaTel Hill, bringing the offensive to an end.
