Syrian Badia.. Russian aircrafts launch intense raids on ISIS sites

Russian warplanes returned to the airspace of the Syrian Badia, after an absence of about 48 hours, as six Russian warplanes launched more than 40 air strikes since this morning, during which they targeted the areas of spread of ISIS mercenaries in the desert of Deir Ezzor and the Aleppo - Hama - Raqqa triangle.

The intense activity of ISIS mercenaries comes in the absence of Russian warplanes for more than 48 hours from bombing the Badia, while helicopters and warplanes of the Damascus government carried out about ten air strikes in the past 48 hours.

In a related context, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported that rockets fired by mercenaries fell on the vicinity of the Ain Ali shrine, south of Al-Mayadeen, in the eastern countryside of Deir Ezzor, where the shells fell at the sites of local groups loyal to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.

In addition, the Syrian Observatory had reported that violent clashes broke out near the city of Sokhna in the Homs desert, following an ambush by ISIS mercenaries on vehicles belonging to the Damascus government forces and its affiliated groups, as they were traveling on the Damascus-Deir Ezzor road.

According to the observatory, the government forces were quick to summon support to the site of the clashes, to force the mercenaries to withdraw after the mercenaries were able to kill four members and wound others from the government forces.
