Warplanes from the Russian Aerospace Forces carried out on July 30 a series of 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 and supply lines used by the terrorists close to the towns of al-Sukhnah and Palmyra in the eastern countryside of Homs. It was the second wave of airstrikes to hit the region since July 27.

Syrian media shared videos of airstrikes on July 30 and 31 and revealed that warplanes from the Syrian Arab Air Force took part in the attack.

Intensive Russian and Syrian airstrikes targeted ISIS cells and even United States proxies in the central region the past months. Still, attacks on government forces and civilians in the region saw an uptake.

ISIS cells have been waging an insurgency in central Syria for most of the past decade. The terrorists receive support from their comrades in the northeastern region which is held by the U.S. and its proxy, the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces.

In addition, Syrian and Russian officials have repeatedly accused U.S. forces in the southeastern area of al-Tanf of training and even arming militants, including members of ISIS.
