ISIS terrorists launch again a massive attack in Eastern Homs

Government troops in Syria fended off repeated attacks by several ISIL-affiliated groups on a number of army positions in Eastern Homs.
The army units opened heavy fire on ISIS terrorists who intended to enter several military points in Saniyeh al-Mazibeleh hills in Eastern Homs from the direction of the Fatha al-Mahsa region, Sawaneh al-Mahsa mountain and al-Quaryatayn dam with continued artillery and missile fire.

During the operations, tens of ISIS militants were killed and wounded and several of their military vehicles and equipment were smashed.

In a relevant development on Wednesday, the Syrian army forces, backed up by the country’s air force, continued their attacks on ISIS positions in the Southern parts of the ancient city of Palmyra (Tadmur) and drove terrorists out of more positions.

The army soldiers that had previously captured al-Abtar mountain Southwest of Palmyra, engaged in fierce clashes with ISIL and managed to take full control over several key positions Northeast of al-Abtar mountain, 15km away from Palmyra.

In the meantime, the army men pushed ISIL back from cattle raising center, the power station South of Palmyra and the road that connects Palmyra to al-Sawaneh.

A field source reported that tens of ISIL members were killed or wounded in clashes with the army units in Badiyeh (desert) region, while terrorists’ vehicles and equipment were also destroyed in large scale.
