Coordinated Operations against ISIS Terrorists in Syria. SAA Infantry, Artillery and Russian Air Force
The Syrian government forces
liberated the strategic town of Salma in the Latakia province on Jan.12.
The Syrian forces seized the Fort of Kafr Dulbeh in Tal al-Khazan and
Tal al-Harmiyah in the Northern part of Salma.
Al-Nusra and the Free Syrian Army
(FSA) militants have reportedly suffered heavy losses in the clashes in
these areas. In turn, the SAA reportedly lost 6 soldiers killed and 8
wounded. The success of operation was grounded on the high level of
coordination of the Russian Air Force with the Syrian Arab Army infantry
and artillery units.
Al-Rabiyah located in the Turkmen
Mountains will likely become a next target of the pro-government forces.
It’s last high ground stronghold controlled by terrorists in the
province. If Al-Rabiyah is liberated, the SAA will have a strategic
initiative to push terrorists from the entire Latakia province.
On Jan.12, ISIS launched offensive
operations in the Homs province striking the pro-government forces at
Al-Dawa and Al-Bayarat located near Palmyra. ISIS reportedly captured a
large cache of weapons and armory including a T-55 Tank in Al-Dawa and
seized the village. In Al-Bayarat, terrorist units have faced a strong
resistance and were pushed to retreat. The situation in the area of
Palmyra remains tense.
The SAA is continuing to advance north
along the Aleppo-Raqqa highway. The SAA liberated the village of ‘Ayn
Al-Jahesh located south of the ISIS stronghold of Al-Bab. Now, the
Syrian forces are advancing on Al-Bab. Meanwhile, the U.S. backed
“Syrian Democratic Forces” are conducting operation to capture the
ISIS-controlled town of Menbeij in east Aleppo. Thus, ISIS has almost
completely lost the initiative in the province.
On Jan.11, 20 people were killed and 50
others wounded after a bomber detonated his explosives-filled vest
inside a cafe in Muqdadiya, 80 km northeast of Baghdad. ISIS gunmen
killed at least 18, four of them police forces, in Baghdad. A separate
bombing in the Nahrawan district southeast Baghdad killed 7 and injured
15 people.
Meanwhile, the Iraqi Security Forces
liberated the Qaryat Sakran region in the province of Anbar. Iraqi
sources argue that scores of militants have been killed there. Also,
clashes were observed in the al-Shaei region.
