    The image shows a large dam structure with water being discharged at high velocity through spillways, creating white turbulent foam in the foreground. Downstream, the water calms into a wide river channel flanked by green vegetation islands and sandy desert terrain. The arid landscape and architectural style are consistent with a major dam in a desert region, likely the Aswan High Dam area in Egypt.

    Water flows from the Tabqah Dam toward Raqqah during an assessment conducted by engineers from Special Operations Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve with Syrian Democratic Forces May 17, 2017, to assess the water levels after they liberated the area from ISIS. Engineers assessed the dam is structurally sound and will continue to monitor water levels. Before ISIS used the dam as a prison and a headquarters, the dam provided up to 20 percent of Syria's electricity and irrigated critical farmland throughout the area. CJTF–OIR is the global Coalition to defeat ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

    Dated 05/17/2017, the image shows armed military personnel on top of a large concrete dam or water control structure overlooking a reservoir. One soldier is leaning over the parapet wall, apparently inspecting or examining the structure below, while another armed individual stands nearby. The setting appears to be an arid region based on the landscape and clear blue sky.
    An aerial/elevated view of a person in military camouflage uniform walking along a concrete waterfront or pier edge next to clear turquoise-green water. The concrete surface has blue and green painted markings that appear to be Arabic script or survey/measurement indicators. The person is holding what appears to be a yellow measuring tape or cord.
    An aerial or elevated view looking down the face of a large concrete dam with water being discharged through multiple spillway gates. The water appears turquoise-blue and highly turbulent as it cascades down the dam face with significant force. The surrounding landscape is arid and semi-desert, with a narrow strip of green vegetation visible along the riverbank downstream.
    A dated photograph from 05/17/2017 showing military personnel walking along a dirt road through what appears to be a damaged or partially destroyed industrial facility. The scene depicts significant structural damage to surrounding buildings and infrastructure, consistent with a conflict or post-conflict environment. Several soldiers in camouflage uniforms are moving along the road flanked by debris piles and damaged structures.
