Syrian Army makes massive advances against ISIS in west Palmyra

The Syrian Arab Army backed by allied militias managed to capture most of Hayyan Gas Fields in the eastern countryside of Homs.

The gas fields have not been fully secured yet but the operation is ongoing. In an adjacent development, the Syrian Army advanced towards the Mahr Oil Fields capturing a number of hills overlooking the aforementioned oil field.

The SAA is currently advancing under the heavy cover of airstrikes and artillery neutralizing at least 20 ISIS terrorists and injurin dozens more.

The most recent advances place the government forces at a distance of less than 30 km from Palmyra’s western gates.
