Battles for Deir ez-Zor: ISIS forces men to join the ranks of the grouping


In Syria, fighting continues for the last major stronghold of the "Islamic state" * - Deir az-Zor province. Terrorists are increasing their fighting power in the region, forcing all men aged 20-30 to join their ranks. In the text, a leaflet distributed by militants notes that all recruits will be sent to the front without special military training, and the refusal will be perceived as disobedience. RT discussed the situation with an expert on the Middle East, Ali Rizkom.

The Syrian army took control of the town of As-Sukhn and landed troops on the border between Homs and Rakka



For the past three days, Syrian government forces were able to completely clear the militants of the Terr. The Islamic State (IG, banned in Russia), the town of As-Sukhna in Homs province, to expand the control zone around it and conduct an amphibious operation, as a result of which terrorists were threatened by encirclement.

By August 10, under the control of the IG, there were only two blocks in the center of As-Sukhn. The city was simultaneously demining the liberated territories and fighting continued with groups of militants moving through underground tunnels. In addition, the work of sappers constantly had to be interrupted due to the periodic shelling of the city (artillery IG even on August 10-11 took to the city).

On August 11, the Syrian special forces, Hezbollah fighters and the Fatimiyun battalion managed to knock out terrorists from positions to the east of the city. Terrorists lost several pieces of equipment (including BMP) and they had to withdraw their artillery from the city. At the same time, two tunnels were discovered and blocked in the city, leading from the very outskirts of the village to its center. From this moment the suppression of the remaining IG groups in the city began.

Approximately 11: 00 local time on August 12, the city was completely cleaned, officially reported to the Ministry of Defense of Syria, and then to Russia. Minister of Defense S. Shoigu noted that the capture of As-Sukhn will help release the key point on the map of Syria - Deir ez Zor. The Syrian military notes that the mine of As-Sukhn will take more than a week.

Almost simultaneously with the liberation of As-Sukhn, on the night of August 12, the special forces of the Syrian army disembarked from helicopters on the border of the provinces of Rakka and Homs in the area of the villages of Bir Rukhum and Al-Qader (Kadir). As a result of a fast night raid, the villages of Bir Rukhum, Khirbet al-Makman and Al-Qader were taken. Under the control of the Syrian army, the territory extended the length of approx. 20 km. And to a depth of 5 km.

On the afternoon of August 12, a connection was established between the area liberated by the landing force and the main forces of government troops in the province of Racca. The result of the landing was a sharp narrowing of the outlined ring of encirclement around the IG grouping in a vast area north of Palmyra in the Akram, Twainam and other fields.

South African armored car RG-31 Nyala in the arsenal of the Syrian army.

One RG-31 was captured by al Qaeda terrorists from UN peacekeepers, who were based in the Golan Heights area. Perhaps later it was recaptured by the Syrian army.

Syrian army continues to advance in the Homs province



Syrian army and its allied tribal militia continue to advance from the city of As-Rusaf, in the province of Rakka in the direction of the town of As Sukhna in the province of Homs, with the goal of finally closing the way out of the " Akerbatsky pocket. " And it should be added that in the "Akerbat pocket" is one of the largest groupings of militants banned in Russia, the organization "Islamic State" (IG).

For yesterday, the Syrian army detachments took full control of the Al-Kavn plateau with all the settlements there and a total area of about 100 square kilometers.

The next target on the path of the Syrian army and allied groups of the tribal militia is the settlement of Taiba, To which there are about 10 kilometers. After the capture of Taiba, before the parts of the government army there will not be a single settlement, but only mountain ranges up to As-Sukhny. The militants of the IG will have the greatest possible resistance or will simply leave, as they did before, the territories of the "Akerbat boiler".

Promotion of the Syrian army on the outskirts of the "Akerbat pocket"







government forces of the UAR and its allied factions are actually squeezing the "Akkerbat pocket" from several directions and are moving to isolate it on the border of the provinces of Homs and Hama.

For two days now, the detachments of the Syrian army and the Palestinian volunteer formation Liva al-Quds are moving towards strategic altitude and the village of Bir-Hassia, which is on the last in the "Akerbat pocket" route between Akerbat itself and the main militants of the organization banned in Russia "The Islamic State" (IG) in central Syria Some sources report that the government army detachments have already managed to take under the fire control the route in the vicinity of Bir-Hassia, and from the night of August 13 to present time Meanwhile, Palestinian detachments of Libya al-Quds advanced more than 15-20 kilometers south of Itria, and according to some sources, up to 30.

In addition, there is progress on the part of Salamis, where the Syrian army and the Syrian people's volunteer units managed to take several heights , Including Tel Jub al-Mazazi with Al-Rafil farms, near the strategically important village of Salba, which is located near the town of Akerbat.

Thus, it can be stated that the defense of the IG militants in the "Akerbat pocket" has actually collapsed, and now the question is whether the Khilafat militants will be able to group and resume stubborn resistance to parts of the government army and allied formations, or simply leave a pocket and run away like They did it during the battles for the "Hanasser Karaman".
