VIDEO: Syrian Army reaches two more ISIS oil fields in blitz eastern Homs offensive

After retaking three gas fields in eastern Homs from the Islamic State over the past week, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has now also reached the outskirts of the Jazal and Al-Mahr oil fields.

According to an Al-Masdar News source, these oil-rich sites are expected to fall into government hands within the next couple of days.

Meanwhile, the SAA is fortifying the newly captured Hayan gas field while Syrian engineers are working overtime to reconnect the facility with the government mainland.

Remarkably, most of the current frontline areas in the Palmyra region are left unmanned by ISIS while mines are the only obstacle preventing the SAA from quicker advances.
