 (ISIS/ISIS/IS/ISIS) bully boyz after they attacked a passenger bus carrying soldiers from the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) along the Palmyra-Deir Ezzor International Highway.

"A group (ISIS) traveling in two four-wheel drive vehicles loaded with machine guns, attacked a military bus with Syrian army soldiers on board near the Syrian-Iraqi border in the Deir Ezzor countryside," a source told Sputnik Arabic.

The source confirmed that one of the vehicles was completely destroyed while fleeing deep into the desert, in addition to the damage of the other.

In a statement to Sputnik, Major General Nizar al-Khader, head of the security and military committee in the Deir Ezzor Governorate and commander of the 17th Infantry Division, said that the group of 5 bully boyz who were traveling in a four-wheel-drive vehicle equipped with a machine gun was eliminated, while two others were pursued to be eliminated today."

Video footage of a Russian chopper chasing the Islamic State vehicle was captured by Sputnik Arabic’s lenses and released this week:

The Syrian Arab Army has since announced that the highway has been reopened and that the group responsible for the attack had been neutralized.
