Several ISIS terrorists killed in failed attempt to breakout of besieged volcanic region

(AlMasdar] (10:00 A.M.) – Scores of Islamic State (ISIS) militants were killed in a new bid by the terrorist group to breakout of the besieged Al-Safa region last night.

The Islamic State began their attack last night in the Al-Safa region by storming the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) positions at the northeastern axis of this volcanic.

Following an intense battle with the Syrian Army at the northeastern axis of the mountain, the Islamic State terrorists were forced to fall back in order to avoid suffering anymore casualties.

According to a military source in the Sweida province, the Syrian Arab Army managed to kill at least seven Islamic State militants, including two snipers that were spotted behind enemy lines.

The Syrian Army would also destroy a technical vehicle that was used by the terrorist group during the short battle last night.

This breakout attempt by the Islamic State marks the second time in the last 24 hours that they have tried to flee the Al-Safa region.

Syrian Army liberates more territory in southern Syria

[AlMasdar] (11:00 A.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their offensive in southern Syria, today, after foiling a big attack by the Islamic State (ISIS) in the Al-Safa region last night.

Led by their 3rd and 10th divisions, the Syrian Arab Army struck the Islamic State’s defenses early this morning, forcing the latter to fall back after their front-lines were fractured.

With the Islamic State on the run, the Syrian Arab Army was able to sweep through the abandoned areas in the Al-Safa region and fully secure the territory before the terrorist group could regroup.

Following the Syrian Arab Army’s advance, their air force unleashed a flurry of airstrikes over the Al-Safa region.

The Syrian Air Force launched at least ten airstrikes over the Islamic State’s positions,which caused significant damage to the terrorist group’s trenches and installations.

ISIS releases new video of kidnapped civilians from Sweida city

[AlMasdar] (8:00 P.M.) – The Islamic State (ISIS) sent a new video to the families of the kidnapped civilians from the Sweida Governorate this week.

The ISIS video showed several of the kidnapped civilians inside of a building in an undisclosed location that is controlled by the terrorist group.

What is bizarre about the home is the fact that there are no residential buildings in the Al-Safa region because it is primarily a volcanic area.

According to a military report from Sweida, the Islamic State managed to sneak the captives out of the Al-Safa region and moved them to the areas they control in the Deir Ezzor Governorate.
