ISIS ambush kills 3 Syrian Army soldiers in southern Palmyra
2019-06-09
[AlMasdar] The 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....
(ISIS) carried out another ambush in the Palmyra countryside this week, killing a number of soldiers in the process.

According to a field report from Palmyra, the Islamic State ambushed a Syrian Army vehicle as it was traveling south of the ancient city.

The report said the Islamic State ambush resulted in the death of at least three soldiers, including one officer.

The Islamic State has recently stepped up their attacks against the Syrian Arab Army and their allies in eastern Syria, killing more than 100 soldiers in the month of May alone.

In response to these ISIS attacks, the Syrian Arab Army has beefed up the number of military personnel around Palmyra; however, this has done little to deter the terrorist strikes.
