Scores of ISIS terrorists killed as Syrian Army liberates several areas in southern Syria [AlMasdar] (1:20 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their large-scale offensive in southern Syria, today, after repelling several Islamic State (ISIS) attacks on Friday. Led by their 3rd Division, the Syrian Arab Army managed to crack the Islamic State’s lines this morning at the ‘Ard Qa’banat axis in the northwestern part of the Al-Safa region. According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army broke through the Islamic State’s lines in ‘Ard Qa’banat and liberated several points that were occupied by the terrorist group. In addition to the advance, the Syrian Arab Army also killed a number of Islamic State fighters, including ten snipers that were positioned along the northwestern part of the Al-Safa region. This advance on Saturday will prove imperative in the coming days, as they now have fire control over the Islamic State’s last water source in the Qabr Sheikh Hussein area. Russian Air Force unleashes powerful assault against ISIS in eastern Syria [AlMasdar] (2:20 P.M.) – For the third day in a row, the Russian Air Force has launched a plethora of airstrikes over the Islamic State’s (ISIS) positions in eastern Syria. Led by their Sukhoi jets, the Russian Air Force launched several airstrikes, today, over the Al-Safa and Badiya Al-Sham regions of eastern Syria. These Russian airstrikes paved the way for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and their allies to make a significant advance through two different Islamic State pockets. Among the biggest advances made by the Syrian Army on Saturday took place in the Al-Safa region, where the latter managed to seize several points from the Islamic State terrorists. Since entering into peace talks with Turkey on the Idlib situation, the Russian Air Force has concentrated their efforts on the Islamic State’s last pockets in eastern Syria. In a matter of 72 hours, the Russian Air Force has launched over 40 airstrikes above the Islamic State’s positions, causing considerable damage to the terrorist group’s fortifications in the process. |
