DAMASCUS (Xinhua) – Syrian reinforcements arrived Friday in desert regions in the central and northern parts of the country to launch a new campaign against remnants of Daesh terrorist group, a war monitor reported.
The Syrian military backup reached the Rasafeh desert in the northern province of Raqqah, the provincial capital of which is the de-facto capital of Daesh, and the Sukhneh desert in the central province of Homs, said the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The UK-based watchdog group said the imminent military campaign aims to comb those areas to track down Daesh remnants.
With its massive defeat in 2018, the terrorists are still present in the Syrian desert, carrying out attacks against Syrian military vehicles and positions.
