Fighting and Russian air strikes in the central desert province of Homs since late Thursday have taken the lives of 18 pro-government fighters and 26 murderous Moslems, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said. "The fighting started in the night of Thursday to Friday with an [extremist] assault on regime positions" near the town of al-Sukhna, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said. ISIS fighters have retained a roving presence in Syria’s vast Badia desert, despite losing their last shred of territory last year. They regularly carry out attacks there. ISIS declared a cross-border "caliphate" in large parts of Syria and neighboring Iraq in 2014, but several military campaigns against it chipped away at that proto-state and eventually led to its territorial demise. Syria’s war has killed more than 380,000 people since it started in 2011 with the repression of anti-government protests, before evolving into a complex conflict involving world powers and murderous Moslems.
