Regime forces brought major reinforcements including tanks, armoured vehicles and vehicles equipped with heavy machineguns, in addition to hundreds of soldiers of military formations, coinciding with Russian airstrikes to secure the region from attacks by ISIS.

SOHR activists have documented nine operations by ISIS cells in SDF-held areas since the beginning of October, and documented the death of a member of the Commandos Forces and an oil worker, where the operations focused on targeting oil tanks of “SDF” four times.

Meanwhile in the Syrian Desert, SOHR activists have documented the death of seven people including three officers in four operations.

Accordingly, SOHR activists have documented the death of 659 civilians, combatants and members of Iran-backed militias in areas of SDF and the regime forces since the beginning of the year.
