Alwaght- The Syrian army’s air force on Thursday conducted a series of sorties targeted ISIS positions and vehicles in several provinces, inflicting heavy losses upon them in personnel and weaponry.
In Deir Ezzor province, the Syrian air force destroyed vehicles, some equipped with
machineguns, and two positions for ISIS terrorists in the villages of al-Murieya and al-Jaffra in the eastern countryside of the province, the country’s news agency, SANA, reported
Meanwhile, the Syrian air force raided positions and gatherings of ISIS in al-Tabqa airport and the southern countryside of Raqqa province.
The source added that the raids resulted in destroying vehicles and positions of the Takfiri terrorist group as well as killing a number of its members.
The army’s air force also carried out sorties on ISIS terrorists’ dens and gatherings to the east of Homs central province.
A military source told SANA that the sorties targeted ISIS terrorists’ dens and positions to the north and east of Palmyra city and to the south of al-Sukhneh town, killing a number of terrorists and destroying their weapons and vehicles.
Elsewhere Syria's military, backed by Russian warplanes, has delivered a major cargo of humanitarian aid to beleaguered people in the eastern city of Deir ez-Zor held by Takfiri ISIS terrorists.
Russian Defense Ministry said on Thursday that Moscow facilitated the airdrop a day earlier by the Syrian Air Force of about 30 tons of humanitarian aid to the areas blocked by Daesh militants.
A statement by the ministry said the cargo, which mostly included foodstuff, belonged to the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It said Russia’s center for reconciliation in Syria which was established in late February at the western Hmeimim airbase assisted the delivery.
The foreign-backed conflict in Syria, which began in March 2011, has claimed the lives of more than 260,000 people and displaced almost half of the country’s population.
