Iraq and Syria have reopened a key border crossing in another landmark development for the two countries in their fight and victory against terrorists.

The al-Qa'im-al-Buka border crossing sits in Iraq's Western Anbar province and Syria's Eastern Deir ez-Zor province. The opening of what was once a major transit point is significant as it quickly fell into the hands of Daesh, when the terror group took control of large parts of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
