, ISIS, IS) claimed it has killed and injured scores of Syrian and Russian troops in an ambush east of Homs province.

The group released a statement on its official media wing, Aamaq Agency, claiming that ISIS Death Eaters had set up an ambush for a joint Syrian-Russian military convoy north of As Sukhnah town in the Syrian desert.

According to the statement, ISIS fighters detonated several IEDs once the convoy was trapped; then opening fire on the troops; killing and injuring at least 15 soldiers.

The attack has also destroyed and damaged 5 vehicles and a tank.

The terror group has recently stepped up its attacks against the Syrian Army forces following the audio message released by ISIS chief Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi last week.

Fierce battles have ever since broke out between the hardline Death Eaters and Syrian government forces, which have launched a wide-scale offensive ‐ supported by Rusian air force ‐ to eradicate the ultraconservative group from the Syrian desert.
