Central Syria: Russian Airstrikes Hit Caves, Dens Used By ISIS Cells As Hideouts

On February 5, a new wave of Russian airstrikes targeted caves and dens in Syria’s central region where cells of ISIS had been hiding.

The terrorists’ hideouts were reportedly located in the eastern countryside of Homs as well as in the Hama-Aleppo-Raqqa triangle.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said that the Russian airstrikes inflicted human losses on ISIS cells. However, the London-based monitoring group didn’t provide any details.

According to the SOHR, Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) warplanes have carried out more than 85 airstrikes on ISIS cells in central Syria since the start of February. During January, more than 674 Russian airstrikes hit the region.

Around 20 Russian airstrikes targeted ISIS terrorists, equipment and hideouts in the outskirts of the town of al-Resafa in the southern countryside of Syria’s Raqqa on February 3 and 4. The airstrikes were a response to an attack on oil shipment that was heading from oil fields held by the Syrian Democratic Forces to government-held areas.

The VKS has been supporting Syrian government forces fight against ISIS cells in the central region for a few years now. The terrorist group’s insurgency in the region will not likely end anytime soon. However, the group’s threat remains contained.
