Syrian Government Forces Regain Control of ISIS Held Territories
International Military Review - Syria, Sep 24, 2015
have quietly advanced in Palmyra’s western countryside as Syrian Air
Forces pound the ISIS positions from the air.
Recently, the Syrian government recaptured the Jabal Jazal after ISIS
terrorists launched a large-scale assault on their defensive positions
at the numerous hilltops and oil fields inside this mountainous region
of east Homs. The clashes were going last two weeks there.
After capturing Jabal Jazal, the Syrian Armed Forces are aimed to move in the direction of the city of Palmyra.
On Monday, the Syrian Air Force targeted the ISIS’ positions around
the city killing an estimated 40 militants. According to the unconfirmed
reports, the Syrian Air Force has become far more effective at this
desert front due to the recent arrival of Russian military advisors that
provided the Syrian Arab Army’s Central Command with satellite imagery
regarding ISIS’ movements around the country.
