ISIS offensives repulsed by the army forces in Eastern Homs

The Syrian soldiers repelled several ISIL attacks against their military positions in the Eastern parts of Homs, inflicting heavy casualties and damage on the terrorists.

The army troops on Wednesday engaged in fierce clashes with ISIL militants who had attacked one of their military points near Shoumeriyeh mountain in Eastern Homs with a bomb-laden car, warding off their offensive after smashing the car and killing and wounding a large number of terrorists.

Other units of the army also clashed with ISIL members who had attacked the military points near the village of Maksar al-Hessan, al-Hawa hills and the town of Job al-Jarah in Eastern Homs, repulsing their offensive after killing most of the militants.

Meantime, the Syrian air force launched heavy airstrikes on ISIL bases in the village of Hamimeh Southwest of the town of al-Bu Kamal and near the borders between Raqqa and Deir Ezzur, blowing up several military vehicles and leaving a number of terrorists dead and wounded.

In a similar development on Wednesday, the Syrian Army soldiers, backed up by the country’s Air Force, repelled a heavy offensive of Al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at or the Levant Liberation Board) North-West of Homs province, inflicting major casualties on the militants.

The Al-Nusra terrorists deployed in the villages of Taldou, Kafr Laha and al-Tayebeh al-Qarbi stormed the army’s defense lines in the villages of Mareimin and Qurmus, but failed to prevail over the pro-government forces.

The army repelled the attack after inflicting a number of casualties on the terrorists.

In the meantime, the army’s artillery units and warplanes targeted Al-Nusra’s stronghold and bases in the villages of al-Tayebeh Qarbi, Kafr Laha, Taldou and Tal Zahab in Northwestern Homs.
