On October5, the ISIS-linked news agency Amaq released an infographic about the ongoing ISIS attack in the eastern Homs countryside. Amaq announced in the infographic that ISIS fighters attacked the following areas around al-Sukhnah city:
- the Eastern al-Hayr Palace east of al-Sukhnah town;
- Hail gas field west of the town;
- Tayibe village east of the town;
- Shanhas villages northeast of the town;
- Al-Dahik mountains north of the town.
ISIS fighters also attacked al-Qaryatayn town, the al-Qaryatayn dam, Mhassa Mount and Jubail Mount in the southern Homs countryside, according to Amaq’s infographic.
Also ISIS conducted 5 VBIEDs attacks, and 1 attack with a suicide belt against the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) in the eastern Homs countryside. Aamq also claimed that ISIS fighters killed 390 Syrian Soldiers and “Russian fighters”, while they had captured 2 Russian fighters and two Syrian soldiers since September 28.
Moreover, Amaq claimed in its infographic that ISIS fighters destroyed 11 battle tanks, 3 BMP-1 vehicles, 2 Shilka vehicles, 3 rocket launchers and 3 vehicles of the SAA during the ongoing attack.
So far the SAA is still preparing to launch its counter-attack around al-Sukhnah and al-Qaryatayn towns. The SAA counter-attack and the ongoing SAA advance on the ISIS stronghold of Mayadin will likey force ISIS to withdraw from the recently captured areas in central Syria.
dont think so…390 ?even 39 is too much
u r right
zio arrogance/stupidity at its max … defeat/death is/must be staring at their losers’ faces now
This is happening as US terrorists (CIA)or Mossad terrorists from ISISrael and their spec ops wearing IS uniforms
and coordinating this attack for sure..Some motherfucking terrorist group not able to lead such a precise operation without help..Since the Syrian/Libyan war the name of America means terrorism to me,its leadership are terrorist criminals..I was a huge US fan although back in years I wanted to move into US myself..Well,not anymore..
The Syrians and Russians a can be in no doubt about the murderous duplicity of the Washington barbarians and will exact payment, sooner or later….
if thats true, what the hell drives them to do this? pretending to be terrorists? i mean you have got to be a real low life to want to do CIA/mossad bidding!!!
Long history of false flag..they want to do this covertly..However the whole world is already aware of their complicity of supporting terrorism as they unmasked themselves many times just recently..Israel did also wore signs and gear of some militant fractions and attacked hezbollah back in times in the Lebanon civil war and achieved that those fractions would fight each other..You see there is a reason the wear ”uniform” of the others,the history is proof of that..Happened many times in other wars..
Allah favours them that favour themselves, I mean, if you don’t want to be the meat in the sandwich don’t butter the bread with complicity to a fraudulent fabricated reality, the RC Christians were the Chosen People that is responsible for this situation the Rwandan Genocide was much worse, same thing will happen in Syria only it will take a longer time unless the real situation is shaken out of Kangaroo Valley.
You make international geopolitics a much more interesting subject Rodney
Even so I can pull this off, I’m not asking Assad for anything, he can do a deal and take a back seat, I’ll even pay my own fare but not hotel, Allah protects me not anyone else.
There is no doubt that ISIS has caused caualities, but 390 & loss of so many vehicles can’t be verified without some evidence. One thing different about the Syrian war: the use of smart phones and Internet has increased the ability to document activities by combatants.
I do not think in that big numbers, but any way, If the attack is true, and ISIS made some progress …..really, SAA behaves as sleeping cell in this area. we are waiting for evidences of what ISIS is claiming, but I am afraid that they will not arrive before ISIS be with Alah.
