Homs

Syrian air force, in incessant operations, delivered heavy blows to the ISIL Takfiri terrorists, reducing their bases to rubble around and in the two key cities of Palmyra and Quaryatayn in Homs province.

The Syrian warplanes severely pounded ISIL hideouts and center points in Quaryatayn and Palmyra (Tadmur) and their nearby areas, destroying their structures and fortifications.

Hasaka

Raqqa

The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) fended off the ISIL terrorists' car bomb attacks on one of the main dams of the country West of Raqqa province.
