New round of attacks | Russian fighter jets execute several airstrikes on ISIS hideouts in Syrian desert

Russian fighter jets executed several airstrikes on ISIS hideouts in eastern Homs desert, Al-Raqqah and Deir Ezzor deserts, Al-Bashri area in western Deir Ezzor countryside, Palmyra- Al-Sukhnah area in eastern Homs countryside and Al-Rusafah area in western Al-Raqqah desert. However, no casualties have been reported.
These strikes coincided with a remarkable escalation by “ISIS” cells and the intensification of their attacks against regime forces in various areas of the Syrian desert.

On October 29, SOHR sources reported that Russian warplanes launched intensive airstrikes on sites where members of “ISIS” cells are hiding in different areas of Homs desert, specifically targeting the mountains surrounding Al-Sukhnah, Palmyra and the vicinity of Tuwaynan in the eastern countryside of Homs, as well as Al-Rusafah desert in the western countryside of Al-Raqqah.
