HOMS, Syria (North Press) – Six members of the government forces, including a major general, were killed on Thursday, and more than nine others were wounded when their military convoy was attacked by unknown gunmen in the eastern desert of Homs, central Syria. 'Using automatic weapons, unidentified gunmen targeted a military convoy of the government forces, which was heading from Homs to the al-Tifour Military Airport, east of Palmyra,' a military source from the government forces told North Press. “The attack resulted in the killing of six members, including officers, one of whom was known as Major General Sa’eed al-Khattar, while nine others were wounded. They were transported to al-Waer Military Hospital in Homs, and their injuries ranged between serious and moderate,” the source cited a doctor in the hospital. The attackers were using four-wheel drive vehicles and bearing the flags of the Islamic State (ISIS). After the attack they ran away toward the Syrian Palmyra desert,” according to the source. Iranian-backed factions along with the government forces control large areas of the Syrian desert, which has recently witnessed several clashes between ISIS and the government forces and factions supported by Iran. Two days ago, an ISIS militant was killed in a Russian raid near the primitive oil tankers in the town of Dublan in the eastern countryside of Deir ez-Zor. Reporting Omar Abdulrahman |
