Russian Airstrikes Hit 285 Terrorist Locations in Syria
Alwaght- The Russian Air Force, in cooperation with Syrian Air Force, carried out 164 sorties, targeting 285 terrorist locations in Hama, Idleb, Lattakia countryside, Damascus countryside, Aleppo, and Deir Ezzor on Friday and Saturday.
According to  Syrian news agency, SANA  the airstrikes resulted in the destruction of 24 terrorists dens and command cnetres, 3 workshops for manufacturing explosive devices and rockets, 21 ammo and fuel depots, 233 fortified positions, bases, and camps.
Military sources say the airstrikes aim to cut off terrorists’ supply lines and destroyed their weapons and munitions depots. Intelligence reports say  that terrorists are refusing to carry out their leaders’ orders to head into military operations areas as their morale has dwindled greatly due to the concerted airstrikes and the massive losses their suffered.
Intelligence reports indicate that terrorist organizations in several areas are in a state of panic and fear due to the airstrikes, and that hundreds of them have fled, leaving their weapons and munitions behind.
Russia launched its airstrikes against Takfiri terrorists in Syria upon a request by Damascus on September 30, hours after the upper house of the Russian parliament gave President Vladimir Putin the mandate to use the air force in the Arab country.
Since September 2014, the US along with some of its allies has allegedly been conducting airstrikes against ISIS terrorists inside Syria without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate. The airstrikes in Syria are an extension of the US-led aerial campaign against alleged ISIS positions in Iraq, which started in August 2014. Many have criticized the ineffectiveness of the US-led coalition raids.
The ISIS terror group, with thousands of members from several Western countries, has been committing heinous acts of terror and atrocities against people of different religious and ethnic communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds and Christians, in Syria, Iraq, and other countries.
