National Defence Forces send reinforcements to Badia to fight ISIS
2022-02-22


PALMYRA, Syria (North Press) – On Monday, the National Defense Forces (NDF) affiliated with the Syrian government sent new military reinforcements from their positions in the countryside of Hama to the Syrian desert to fight the Islamic State ISIS.

“The National Defense Forces operating in the city of Maharda, north of Hama, sent new military reinforcements to their points in the Syrian Badia, east of Homs,” special sources told North Press.

“The military reinforcements consisted of about three tanks and more than 20 other vehicles, some of which carried machine guns of different calibers. They also included more than 60 members, most of whom are from the predominantly Christian city of Maharda,” the sources added.

This batch of reinforcements was preceded yesterday evening by similar reinforcements that came from the city Maharda and sites in its surrounding, the sources said.

ISIS activity has increased in the Syrian Badia, especially in the triangle of the governorates of Homs – Hama – Raqqa, as ISIS cells repeatedly launch a complex series of coordinated ambushes and assaults on government positions and military vehicles.
