The Syrian and Russian air force jets conducted intensive airstrikes in Raqqa province, destroying several ISIS military installations across the province in Northern Syria, a battlefield source said on Thursday.
Syrian and Russian warplanes repeatedly struck the terrorist group’s supply hubs inside the city of Raqqa, leaving several terrorists dead and significant amount of their equipment destroyed.
The airstrikes over Raqqa province have recently intensified as the Syrian Army is running an operation to recapture the ancient city of Palmyra.
Among the many targets for the Syrian and Russian air forces are the terrorist group’s primary supply routes to Hama province and the oil rich town of Al-Sukhanah in Homs province.
As a result of the aerial campaign, the Syrian infantry forces have been able to quickly advance in suburban areas near Palmyra, while ISIS struggles to get the necessary support for its fighters.
In recent days, the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) and the Kurdish People’s Protection Units (YPG) have been engaged in heavy clashes with ISIS in Northern Raqqa province.
The clashes began as the ISIS launched a wave of suicide attacks on the YPG and SDF centers in the Southern parts of Salouk town, Northern Raqqa.
In another development in Raqqa, the ISIS terrorists' offensive against the YPG forces in Jantrari village in the Eastern parts of Ain Issa town, was responded by the Kurdish resistance forces.
During the clashes between the YPG and the ISIS terrorists in the region, three militants and two Kurds were killed, FNA reported.
