Syrian Army tanks, infantry plow through ISIS territory in central Homs

...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
’s days in central Syria appear to be numbered as the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) captured some 3,000 square kilometers in barely 48 hours, thus reconnecting all roads between the ancient cities of Palmyra and Damascus.

Below, the SAA can be seen liberating the desert town of al-Buseerah, located southwest of Palmyra. The footage was released by the official SAA media wing:

With large ISIS convoys retreating from the Homs region en route to Raqqa upon word of SAA advances, these jihadist vehicles were hunted down by Syrian and Russian warplanes with the entire ordeal recorded on camera.

ISIS is now gearing up for the looming battle of Raqqa while the SAA seems keen to grab poorly defended jihadist territory in the rest of Homs province.
