Russian military to take over Tabaqa Airbase in Raqqa: source
|
[ALMASDARNEWS] The Russian military will be taking over the strategic al-Tabaqa Airport in the western countryside of the al-Raqqa Governorate, a source from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) told al-Masdar on Sunday.
According to the source, the Russian military has already begun deploying their forces to the al-Tabaqa Airport, pointing out that a convoy of 15 Russian military vehicles entered the installation on Saturday.
The source added that the Russian military convoy was carrying several soldiers and equipment to secure the al-Tabaqa Airport and its surroundings.
Last week, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) handed over the al-Tabaqa Airport in western al-Raqqa to the Syrian Arab Army; this came just days after the two parties reached a defense pact in northern Syria.
The Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that they were al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're really very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear western pols talk they're not really Moslems....
(ISIS
 ...embracing their inner Islamic Brute...
/ISIS/IS/ISIS) captured the al-Tabaqa Airport in August 2014 after seizing several sites across northern Syria, including Raqqa city.
Following the capture of the al-Tabaqa Airport, the Islamic State carried out one of the worst massacres of the war when their turbans marched over 200 captured Syrian soldiers to a desert area near the installation; they would then summarily execute these soldiers after lining them up side-by-side.
