The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and several pro-government formations had kicked off a large-scale combing operation in the southern countryside of Raqqa, the London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on April 17.
The operation, which is taking place in the outskirts of the town of Madan, is meant to neutralize ISIS cells and uncover their hideouts.
The Russian Aerospace Forces is currently backing the operation. More than 20 Russian airstrikes have already struck hideouts of ISIS in the outskirts of Madan as well as around the nearby town of al-Resafa.
According to the SOHR, more than 330 Russian airstrikes have targeted ISIS cells, their equipment and hideouts in central Syria since the start of April.
The new combing operation was likely launched in response to ISIS’s recent attacks in the central region. On April 15, the terrorist group’s cells attacked several positions of the pro-government National Defense Forces in the western countryside of Deir Ezzor.
In the last two years, ISIS cells in central Syria expanded their operations to the southern Raqqa countryside and the western countryside of Deir Ezzor. Prior to that, the terrorists were only active in the eastern countryside of Homs and the eastern Hama countryside.
ISIS insurgency in central Syria will not likely end any time soon. However, it is being effectively contained by the SAA and its allies.
“Ukraine ready to fight Russia ‘for 10 years’ – Zelensky” Good old Zion pigs.
“Good old Zion pigs” “Russia has slammed Israeli foreign minister Yair Lapid for accusing Moscow of committing war crimes in Ukraine, saying Israel is using the military operation in the former Soviet state to “distract” the world from the regime’s ongoing conflict with Palestinians.” In a statement on Friday, the Russian Foreign Ministry accused Lapid of an “anti-Russian attack” after Israel backed Moscow’s suspension from the UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC) last week, criticizing the Tel Aviv regime for “the illegal occupation and creeping annexation of Palestinian territories.”
“There is an effort to take advantage of the situation around Ukraine to distract the international community from one of the longest unresolved conflicts — the Palestinian-Israeli,” the ministry said.
“It is also noteworthy that… the longest occupation in the post-war world history is carried out with the tacit connivance of the leading Western countries and the actual support of the United States,” it added.
The ministry further bashed the blockade of the besieged Gaza Strip, which Israel says is needed to prevent arms from reaching the Palestinian resistance movements in the enclave.
On April 7, the UN General Assembly suspended Russia from the UNHRC over claims of “gross and systematic violations and abuses of human rights” in Ukraine.
Gaza factions have the same ideology with those on Idlib. But you fail to see it.
Zelensky is ready to sacrifice every last Ukro on bloody AngloZionist altar.
Not just ready, he is probably enjoying it.
They are not sacrifices. They are victims. How can any normal person want 44 mio hostile inhabitants added to the ones, they already has.
Zelinsky also is an elected President and no Dictator. They have normal elections and many political parties, wich are sober lected as well as it goes.
There are no nazis in the parlament as well. .
Zelensky is a puppet of the Anglo elite just. The Anglos want Europe to burn in order to exploit it.
So he democraticaly stood all opposition parties down? Asking for a friend
