At least 34 troops of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) were killed on November 8 in a large-scale attack by ISIS cells in the central region of Syria, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR).
The London-based monitoring group said that the terrorists attacked several military positions between the town of al-Sukhnah in the eastern Homs countryside and the town of Resafa in the southern countryside of Raqqa in the early morning hours.
Despite inflicting heavy losses on government forces, the terrorists failed to capture any position and withdrew back to the desert.
Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV, which is close to the Syrian government, reported that an operation to hunt down the terrorists was launched by the SAA and the NDF.
Warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out two waves of airstrikes against ISIS hideouts between al-Sukhnah and Resafa in response to the attack and to support of the operation. The SOHR reported that at least seven terrorists were killed in the airstrikes.
The al-Sukhnah-Resafa attack was one of the largest and deadliest offensive operations by ISIS cells in central Syria this year.
The attack came amid an unprecedented Israeli attack on the Palestinian Gaza Strip and a regional confrontation between Iranian-backed forces and the United States. This raises some serious questions about the affiliation of ISIS, especially its cells in central Syria. Officials from Syria and Russia warned on several occasions earlier this year and before that the terrorists were being trained and armed by the U.S.
now that the zionists have america balkanized the american zionist terrorist training may be a clue to americas future as well.
always wondered why isis never helped palestinians…has to be cia and mossad project. bagdadi was trained by cia….
of course it is! hamas is the reason therw is no is in gaza
yes and where are those white helmet bitches in gaza?
„ warplanes of the russian aerospace forces carried out two waves of airstrikes“. i seriously doubt that. russia leaves syria on life support. nobody shd think they care about syria or the resistance. at any rate, israel certainly forbids them ti strike at their allies.
strange how these “isis” and “al qaeda” types!can attack other muslims but have never fired a single bullet at israel, even during the genocide of our time. if anyone is confused to who is behind “isis” and “al qaeda” they are either retarded or being dishonest. nato (especially us, uk, france and turkey), israel and the gulf arabs are behind “isis” and “al qaida”.
its flat desert, not a fcking vietnam jungle, so how can there still hide hundrets of terrorists without been spotted by recons, drones aso? and who arm, cover and supply them there? 300.000 saa soldierr and some 50.000 shia militias in syria, supported by russian special forces and airforce, should be able to clean up this whole desert and than recapture whole idlib.
serb forces or the vietnamese would have cleaned up this desert in no time at all
they hide in the mountains, under cover of rocks. syrian/russian ignorance has contributed to this. last time a large scale combing operation took place, isis attacks seized for many months. now, theres only small localized combing ops.
how is it that countries always seem to know where to strike the “terrorist” almost immediately after an attack but they never seem to know where they are before the attack?
like israel killed several hamas commanders in air strikes within a week or two after hamas attacked israel but some how did not know any thing about the attack before it happened or where the hamas commanders where. if israel had such good intelligence that they could find the hamas leaders shortly after the attack then why could they not discover info about the pending attack? i would think that the hamas commanders would be much harder to find after the attack.
thank you russia thank you
you mean us trained mercenaries attack syrians.
ruské vojská by sa mali zamerať hlavne na okupantov z usa!!! tí sú v sýrii nelegálne a teda protiprávne!!! nemajú tam čo hľadať, môžu byť považované za teroristov alebo okupantov.
us and israel bomb syrian army instead of daesh — while they fight daesh in their territory and their country has been ravaged by war — you cant make this shit up. and not a word from anyone at the un.
hammered by lgbt senility my used condom chew gum my brown diaper
no fighting force can last without logistics supplies and food etc, if those bastards are being supplied and supported by the us those us bases in syria need annihilating and a big operation to take idlib or this shit will go on forever
israhell terrorist filth getting whacked left right and center. how long more can the raving psychopath, nut’nyahoo avoid the flashing knives of his anglozionazi puppeteers? regime change is coming to the squatter entity in occupied palestine but it is already too late to “save” the fascist collection of thugs. the river of blood unleashed on the palestinians will eventually drown the khazar. karma is a beautiful thing.
now that russia is busy in ukraine, china should increase its involvement in syria, especially in investment and economic support. because the syrian government urgently needs to improve the situation of its people after the harsh and destructive war.
i would like to see russia strike the ‘decision making centers’ for isis, which are located in israel and washington dc.
