DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The Daesh terrorists launched an offensive on Syrian army military points in Badiyeh region of Homs province, as battlefield sources said the raid by Daesh came in coordination with the U.S.-backed terrorists.
The Syrian Army troops engaged in fierce clashes with the Daesh terrorists who intended to penetrate into military points in al-Sukhna Desert in eastern Homs, battlefield sources in eastern Homs said.
The sources said several Daesh terrorists were killed after their vehicles came under strike by the Syrian Air Force.
The Arabic-language al-Watan newspaper also reported that the Daesh terrorists, who have exited al-Baqouz town under an agreement with the U.S.-backed so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), launched several attacks on the Syrian Army's military positions in Badiyeh from Jabal Abu Rajmin in northeastern Palmyra to eastern Daryr al-Zawr.
The Arabic-language service of Russia Today (RT) also pointed to the reemergence of the Daesh in al-Tanf region in Eastern Homs and the terrorists' attacks on the Syrian Army's military points, and quoted local sources as saying that an operation is underway to relocate terrorists to this region.
The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), meantime, announced that the Daesh’s activities in Badiyeh region of Homs and the terrorist groups' attacks on the Syrian Army in the region have increased after the U.S.-led coalition declared the Daesh’s defeat in Eastern Euphrates.
Syrian army sources also accused the U.S.-backed militants in east and southeast Syria of collaboration with the Daesh, saying that the Daesh attack took place after the terrorists were given a pass and assistance by the U.S.-backed militants.
Meanwhile, the Russian Defense Ministry’s Center for Syrian Reconciliation said in a daily bulletin that the terrorists have violated the ceasefire regime in the Syrian provinces of Aleppo and Latakia.
"Despite the ceasefire regime being established throughout the country, there are still cases of ceasefire regime violation by illegal armed formations in the Idlib de-escalation zone […] Over the past 24 hours militants have attacked Rashidin, Aleppo province, outskirts of southern part of Jurin, outskirts of north-western part of Qalaat Marza, Latakia province," the bulletin read.
Syrian authorities continue to work on amnesty for those "who evade from military service, including those among refugees and former members of illegal armed groups," the center noted, adding that a total of 57,681 people had been granted amnesty as of Saturday.
Russia, alongside Turkey and Iran, is a guarantor of the ceasefire regime in Syria. Moscow has also been assisting Damascus in its support of the struggle against terrorist groups, providing humanitarian aid to local residents and facilitating the return of refugees.
