The Syrian and Russian armies, carried out a large-scale operation to combat the Islamic State (ISIS) between Aug. 18-24, 2020, which resulted in the killing of 327 militants.
On Tuesday, a spokesman for the Russian forces in Syria said, “The bombing by the Russian Air Force and the Syrian Air Force, as well as artillery shelling in the ‘White Desert’, resulted in the liquidation of 327 militants, the destruction of 134 shelters, 17 observation points, seven stores of ammunition and five underground warehouses for weapons and ammunition.”
The Russian and Syrian air forces launched dozens of strikes over the last few days, inflicting heavy damage to ISIS hideouts across the Badiya al-Sham region that is located between Deir ez-Zor, Homs, Suweida, and Damascus.
These Russian and Syrian strikes specifically targeted ISIS hideouts throughout the region between the cities of Palmyra (Tadmur) and Deir ez-Zor.
