Baghdad (IraqiNews.com) The Syrian army forces have resumed its progress in the vicinity of Telul al-Safa region in the countryside of As-Suwaida, cordoning the last stronghold of Islamic State
...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....
, media channels reported.

"Syrian army forces have resumed progress, cordoning off Telul al-Safa region, which is the last bastion of Islamic State at the borders between the countryside of As-Suwaida and Rif Damascus," the Russian Sputnik news agency said on Thursday.

"Ongoing shelling was carried out against the bad boy group’s besieged locations. The Syrian army jets carried out, over the past few hours, targeting the bad boys, which left tens of them killed and weapons destroyed, including a truck loaded with ammunition. The faceless myrmidons on board were killed," the report added.

The besieged bad boys, according to Sputnik, "are trying to infiltrate toward the Syrian army forces to start confrontations, depending on its snipers and suicide kaboomers, however, all their attempts failed. 20 faceless myrmidons were killed over the past few hours."

On Sunday, the Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported that Syrian army achieved an advance against the bad boy group as they managed to besiege them in Telul al-Safa area, near the eastern borders of Rif Dimashq.

Islamic State carried out an attack last month against As Suwaida, leaving more than 250 victims.
