QAMISHLI, Syria (North Press) – On Sunday, the Syrian Ministry of Defense announced that 13 members of its forces were killed in an attack by unknown persons on a military bus in the Palmyra desert.

“At about 13:30 this afternoon, a military bus in the Palmyra desert was attacked by various types of weapons,” the ministry reported a Syrian military source.

“13 members, including a number of officers, were killed, and 18 others were wounded,” it added.

“ISIS cells carried out a large-scale attack, at dawn on Sunday, on sites where government forces and allied fighters are holed up, near the village of al-Sawab at the T2 station in the depths of the Syrian Badia, east of Homs,” local media said.

“ISIS militants took advantage of the weather conditions and the dust storm that hit the Syrian desert,” according to local media.

Al Ahram adds:

So far this year 61 pro-regime soldiers and Iran-affiliated gunnies had been killed in IS group attacks in the desert of Syria, it said.
