[HODHODYEMENNEWS.NET] The ''ISIS'' attacks have recently escalated in several areas in northern and eastern Syria, especially in the Syrian desert. According to the Syrian Human Rights Observatory, the number of ISIS terrorist attacks in the Syrian desert since the fall of the former regime on December 8 has reached six attacks, resulting in the deaths of 70 people, both civilians and soldiers. The terrorist organization launched five attacks in Homs, killing 64 people, including 52 soldiers from the former Syrian army who were executed and 12 civilians, including nine livestock herders. US strikes kill 12 Islamic State group members in Syria [IsraelTimes] American forces carried out air strikes against the Islamic State group in Syria on Monday, killing a dozen of its fighters, the US military says. “The strikes against the ISIS leaders, operatives, and camps were conducted as part of the ongoing mission to disrupt, degrade and defeat ISIS,” US Central Command (CENTCOM) says on social media, using an acronym for the Islamic State group. The aim is to prevent “the terrorist group from conducting external operations and to ensure that ISIS does not seek opportunities to reconstitute in central Syria,” CENTCOM says. “These recent strikes are in former regime and Russian-controlled areas, ensuring pressure is maintained on ISIS,” it adds. Washington is seeking to prevent the jihadist group from taking advantage of the fall of Bashar al-Assad’s government, which was overthrown by an Islamist-led rebel alliance that took the capital Damascus on December 8.

Battle damage assessments are underway, and there are no indications of civilian casualties. “CENTCOM, working with allies and partners in the region, will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria,” said Gen.
