On Sunday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), Liwas al-Quds and other pro-government factions launched a large-scale attack on ISIS positions in the vicinity of Arak gas field east of Palmyra city. Violent clashes have been taking place i the Talila Reserve area and the Arak crossroad since the Sunday morning.
On June 10, the SAA and its allies managed to capture a number of hills and positions overlooking the Arak gas field and deployed in only 4 km from the field. The SAA aims to capture Arak gas field – one of the largest gas fields in Syria – in order to launch the attack on Sukhna town from it.
The SAA had sent significant reinforcements to the area in order to speed up the operation.
From its side, ISIS claimed that three Syrian soldiers have been killed during clashes in the Silos area east of Palmyra city.
Moreover, ISIS fighters allegedly destroyed a Shilka self-propelled gun of the SAA in the Silos area with an ATGM.
Russian Air Force warplanes and helicopters continued bombing ISIS positions in Sukhna, the Arak gas field and along the Palmyra-Sukhna road. According to Syrian Arab Army (SAA) sources
Exterminate American ISIS.

ISIS took back arak in 6 hours. SAA is fughting and advancing second month.
Yep, but ISIS have advantage to strike from different axis that time and with help of sheer numbers (IS from Iraq), meanwhile SAA were positioned into one location.
According to Syrian Arab Army (SAA) sources?
I’d sooner trust the SAA than ISIL or SDF any day. They both work for the same paymaster.
me too, but i was just pointing to the end of the article, where the above sentence stays incomplete.
Visual awareness. .. Gee look…..there’s a Burm,….let’s park behind it. Oh….we are taller than the Burm and exposed. Gee….could their be ATGMS out there?.
” Hey Top….We are exposed…Maybe build up the Burm more”?
Top…”naw….not necessary. …but get off your ass and plant the Yellow Hezbollah flag”.
That SAA soldier almost faced death in second video, when marking bullet passed close to him. Look at 3:16 on..
