It doesnt have the same catchy name. Its a placed call altanf. Its inside syria but it is right at the corner where the borders of jordan, iraq and syria come together in a dry angle point. And as such, its an important spot. It is really remote. It is way out there in the Syrian Desert but its close to that threeway border between those three countries and its also right on the main road that runs from baghdad in iraq to damascus in syria. When isis controlled big swaths of iraq and syria, so much so that they obliterated the border, that spot, al tanf was considered to be an important supply line for isis for isiscontrolled cities in iraq and the ones in syria.
