SYRIA UPDATE
Syrian Army Launches Large Offensive Against ISIS In Eastern Homs
During the first hours of the operation, warplanes of the Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) carried out a series of airstrikes on ISIS positions in the Homs desert. Later, the SAA and its allies attacked several positions of the terrorist group on the administrative border between the governorates of Homs and Deir Ezzor.
Local observers believe that more than 1,000 fighters and commanders of ISIS are currently hiding in the Homs desert, which lays between the eastern Homs countryside and the western Deir Ezzor countryside. These terrorists have launched several attacks on the SAA’s positions on the western bank of the Euphrates River since the beginning of this year.
ISIS fighters will not likely be able to hold their positions for a significant amount of time because there are no natural fortifications in the Homs desert.

Lavrov said that terrorists are using civilians in Idleb as human shields, calling for the separation of “armed opposition” from terrorists of Jabhat al-Nusra and other terrorist organizations.

Despite of all of these accusations, the footage released by ISI provided no strong evidence confirming its claims. Many local observers doubt that in this very case Iran is involved and believe that the facility may be just a military base of the Syrian Arab Army (SAA).
