Warplanes of the Russian Aerospace Forces (VKS) carried out on March 31 more than 30 airstrikes against ISIS cells in Syria’s central region, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The London-based monitoring group said that the airstrikes targeted hideouts of the terrorist group near the town of al-Resafa in the southern Raqqa countryside, close to the towns of Palmyra and al-Sukhnah in the eastern Homs countryside as well as in the desert of Mount Bashri in the southwestern countryside of Deir Ezzor.
The VKS and the Syrian Arab Air Force intensified operations in the central region after two deadly attacks last week. Videos showing some of the recent Russian and Syria airstrikes have already surfaced online.
On March 24, ISIS cells abducted then executed two pro-government fighters near Palmyra. Four others were abducted then executed by the terrorists close to al-Sukhnah the following day, March 25. The group’s news agency, Amaq, released photos of the crime.

ISIS cells have been waging an insurgency in central Syria for over six years now. The terrorists receive serious support from their comrades in the northeastern region, which is held by the U.S. and its proxies.
In addition, Syrian and Russian officials have accused U.S. forces at the al-Tanf garrison in the southeastern region of training and even arming terrorists, including members of ISIS, on several occasions in the past.
Earlier this month, the Syrian Arab Army amassed a large force, including units from the elite 4th Armored Division, in the central region. Despite reports of a plan to launch a full-blown operation against ISIS cells, the military is yet to make a move.

america has a proxy war and proxy terrorists to hide the satanic sickness of it’s proxy government controlled by zionist globalists
have you noticed, that besides only having 17 years peace in total, since 1776, they only managed to win one battle last century. that was against the tiny caribbean island grenada. even that took them 3 months. not forgetting them losing to the pig farmers of vietnam. no wonder they have to hide behind others, when keeping their mic mates in business.
that’s the thing. they have actually never won a proper war by themselves – only the one they fought against themselves, the american civil war. all others have been by hiding behind others, as far away as possible.
very well said. american satanic sickness.
remember, usa is under jewish control. 90% of their congress is jewish. that explains all.
the 90 percent are mostly zio addled zupporters
i bet the i. secret intelligence services were not expecting that.
