Syrian soldiers killed and injured in attack on their checkpoints and posts east of Homs

SOHR sources have reported that ISIS cells carried out a large-scale attack on regime checkpoints and points near the third station and Al-Hail oil field in eastern Homs countryside on Saturday dawn, amid confirmed reports of killing and injuring regime soldiers. The casualties were taken to Palmyra national hospital.

According to Syrian Observatory sources, ISIS cells in Al-Hammad desert at Syria-Jordan- Iraq border triangle attacked regime’s positions.

This morning, Russian fighter jets carried out nearly 30 airstrikes, targeting ISIS hideouts and hotbeds in the Syrian desert.

Russian airstrikes hit Al-Rusafah desert, south-west of Al-Raqqah, and the vicinity of an archaeological area in the far north-east of Hama. No casualties were reported.

On July 20, SOHR activists documented the death of a member Al-Nugabaa Iraqi militias and the injury of several others, where a 4×4 vehicle was attacked by unidentified gunmen believed to be ISIS cells, in the area between Al-Kom and Al-Tabiya villages in eastern Homs countryside, where the injured members were transported to Al-Sokhna clinic.
