Syria’s army and its allies seized control over the areas of Abu Tawala and Boyout Jarbou al-Izzo southeast Altifor airport after fierce clashes with the Islamic State (ISIS) militants in Homs province.
Following the operations, which were backed by the Syrian air force, the area was also cleansed of mines and IEDs (improvised explosive device.)

Several strategically-located hills overlooking a major oil pumping station in the region were also retaken from the terrorists.

Meanwhile in Dayr al-Zawr, Syrian forces launched a major operation against terrorist-held positions in the al-Maqaber area located to the south of the city, killing a large number of them and destroying their equipment.

Several armed drones and a piece of heavy artillery belonging to the terrorists was also annihilated.  

During operations in the city’s southwestern area of Panorama, a large amount of armed vehicles belonging to the terrorists was also destroyed.

Syrian air force strikes on the militant held villages of al-Salehiya and al-Bogheilia and in the neighborhoods of al-Ummal and al-Mohandiseen also killed a large number of terrorists and destroyed their equipment.

An all-Syria ceasefire, which has been brokered by Russia and Turkey, forbids fighting across the Arab country’s territory. However, Jabhat Fateh al-Sham and its fellow Takfiri terror group of Daesh have been excluded from the agreement due to the barbarity of their actions and their refusal to fall into step with any pacification efforts.
