SAA suffered losses during the impact of ISIS near Palmyra: to prevent a new loss of the city
Worrying reports come from Syria. In the area of the city of Tadmor (in Russia it is better known as Palmyra), a concentration of militants of the so-called “Islamic state” is recorded (* ISIS, prohibited in the Russian Federation).
This report itself, it would seem, was two or three years late, since this area of the Homs province has long been freed from ISIS terrorists, however, even in September 2019, the militants of the terrorist group choose Palmyra for their attack.
The AMN portal, citing sources in the Syrian armed forces, reports that several Syrian troops were killed in the attack by the Ishilovites southeast of Tadmor (Palmyra).
Terrorists attacked SAA fighters in the desert. The Middle East media reported that the convoy of Syrian troops was moving in an open area, which makes it clear that the SAA did not expect that terrorists could be on the route of the convoy due to the fact that the Palmyra region is under the control of the Syrian troops. In turn, this raises questions for military intelligence.
It should also be borne in mind that the SAR army lost Palmyra at least twice: at the very beginning of the war, and also after the city was helped by the release of Russian troops. Then, it seemed, Palmyra came under the control of the SAA completely, but then with a few blows ISIS * militants crushed the Syrian defense lines and once again captured the military base and partly the city.
According to recent reports, in the Palmyra region, as a result of another attack by Ishilov’s army, the SAR army lost over 10 people. The exact death toll has not yet been reported.
This is the first major attack by ISIS after the Syrian army completed, as stated, the defeat of terrorists in the provinces of Homs and Deir ez-Zor. CAA, by definition, should not allow another loss of previously liberated territories, including the territory of Palmyra. If only because the third surrender of the city will be at least a reputable blow.
