Alwaght- The Syrian army’s air force on Wednesday carried out airstrikes targeting ISIS terrorists in al-Rasafeh city in the northeastern Raqqa province.
Tens of vehicles, including armored carriers and others mounted with machine guns, were destroyed in the airstrikes, which also left large numbers of ISIS terrorist dead. The Syrian Army launched on June 3 a large-scale offensive to liberate the city of Raqqa, the de-facto capital of the ISIS Takfiri terrorist group.
Meanwhile, the Syrian army continued operations against various terrorist organizations, launching strikes on their positions in other areas, destroying their vehicles and equipment and killing many of their members.
The army also foiled an attempt by terrorists to infiltrate across a 15-meter deep tunnel to a military checkpoint in Harasta in Damascus countryside.
An army unit managed to storm the tunnel, which is 500 meters long and 160-cm wide that was discovered in Ard al-Khams area in Harasta, extending towards a military checkpoint.
Scores of explosive devices found inside the tunnel were dismantled, the source said.
The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has so far claimed the lives of nearly half a million people and left over one million injured.
Syrian government says terrorists in the country are backed by the US and its regional allies including the Israeli regime, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
