Syrian Army Kills over 25 Daesh Terrorists West of Palmyra
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – The Syrian Armed Forces killed more than 25 militants of the Daesh terrorist group west of the city of Palmyra.
The operation took place in Homs Governorate, near the city of Palmyra, which Daesh militants stormed on December 12, a military source told Syria’s state-run SANA news agency.
Syrian army units and loyal militias have been forced to regroup at the Tiyas T4 airbase to the west of Palmyra and have been defending it against Daesh attacks, Sputnik reported.
The Daesh, outlawed in many countries, first seized Palmyra in spring 2015 and a year later was forced out by Syrian government troops with air support from Russian jets.
