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.

The Syrian army soldiers continued military operations in Eastern Homs towards Deir Ezzur, extending the range of their advances and tightening the noose on ISIL in the town of al-Sukhnah.

The army forces, supported by heavy air and artillery attacks, continued clashes with ISIL members in Eastern Homs, winning back control of Jabal al-Tantour mountain in the Western parts of al-Sukhnah and entering several farms near the town.

The Syrian soldiers also could regain control of several buildings in the Southwestern parts of al-Sukhnah.

Meantime, the Syrian and Russian air forces pounded the ISIL terrorists’ positions and moves in al-Sukhnah and the nearby areas, smashing several of them.

Also, people attacked one of the vehicles carrying a number of ISIL commanders and killed several of them, including Abu Safiyeh al-Kondari and Faisal al-Shamri.

The Syrian army and the Kurdish forces have established a joint operations room for further coordination in their anti-terrorism fight in Raqqa and Deir Ezzur, Arab media reported.

According to al-Akhbar newspaper, the operations room has already started its missions.

A field source said that the details of such an agreement to set up the operations room will be announced by the Syrian officials in due time.

Rizan Haddou, a Kurdish politician, underlined talks between the Syrian government and the Kurdish forces, and said, “This will leave a positive effect on military coordination in several pivots and we will witness an astonishing advance in driving out the ISIL from Raqqa and breaking the siege on Deir Ezzur.”

According to al-Akhbar, different issues have helped the agreement, including Turkey’s recent tensions in Afrin and the differences between the US and the Kurds on al-Tanf crossing.
