AlMasdarNews reports: The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) repelled the Syrian Arab Army’s (SAA) counter-attack at the Al-Sha’ar Gas Fields on Friday night, paving the way for their own assault to capture the remaining territory in Jabal Al-Sha’ar (Poet Mountains).
Since repelling the Syrian Arab Army’s counter-attack, ISIS has improved their positions in Jabhat Al-Sha’ar, advancing as far north as the Al-Mahr Gas Fields in the northeastern countryside of the Homs Governorate.
ISIS has capitalized on this morning assault at the Al-Mahr Gas Fields, seizing several points at this site in northeastern Homs after a fierce battle with the Syrian Armed Forces.
Clashes are still ongoing at the Al-Mahr Gas Fields; furthermore, it is ISIS that is still on the offensive.
