, told Syria’s official news agency SANA that Syrian soldiers and their allies could take full control of al-Dhaliyat region in the Humeima district, which lies on the border between Homs and Dayr al-Zawr provinces, on Monday.

The source added that scores of Takfiri ISIS bad boyz were potted and their munitions destroyed during the operation, noting that bomb disposal teams are now clearing the area of landmines and improvised bombs (IEDs) planted by the Lion of Islams.

The fighter jets of the Syrian Air Force also carried out a series of Arclight airstrikes against ISIS positions and supply routes across Dayr al-Zawr Province, leaving a large number of the Takfiris dead and injured.

Separately, Syrian army units struck ISIS positions in the vicinity of al-Maqaber and al-Panorama areas, killing 18 ISIS snuffies and destroying an armored vehicle as well as two pickup trucks equipped with heavy machineguns.

Elsewhere on the southern outskirts of the capital Damascus, Syrian soldiers, backed by artillery units and Air Force jets, engaged Jabhat Fateh al-Sham

Syrian government forces also repulsed a Lion of Islam attack, killing a number of snuffies and destroying five pickup trucks equipped with heavy machineguns, two ammunition trucks and two rocket launchers.

Syria has been fighting different foreign-sponsored Lion of Islam and terrorist groups since March 2011. UN Special Envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura estimated last August that more than 400,000 people had been killed in the crisis until then.
