Konflikten i Syrien

ISIS terrorists used US missile strikes against government forces in the Syrian province of Homs and launched an attack near the important town of Al-Furqalas in Homs province. Clahes between the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and ISIS terrorists also erputed at the highway linking Homs and Ash Sha’irat.

The ISIS attack took place just hours after US launched dozens of Tomahawk cruise missiles at the military airfield in Ash Sha’irat located 38 kilometers southeast of the city of Homs.

As a result of these strikes, the airfiled was destroyed and the Syrian Air Force lost a significant part of its capabilities to provide fast air support to its forces operating against terrorists in the northern Hama countryside and along the Homs-Palmyra highway.
