Syrian government forces have liberated Masadah village from ISIS terrorists in the eastern Salamiyah countryside, north of the Homs-Palmyra highway. Then, government troops stormed and reportedly liberated the villages of Um Al-Rish and Rasm Al-Naqah.
Therecent developments in the eastern Salamiyah pocket shows that no withdrawal deal is expected between the government and ISIS in the area.
Slowly, slowly, a village here, a village there. I wouldn’t expect the government troops involved in this operation to show up anywhere else soon. On the bright side the same seems to apply to the ISIS troops.
Just enough to get the job done!
