ISIL bomb attack kills 20 army soldiers in northeast Syria
At least 20 Syrian government troopers have lost their lives in a bomb attack carried out by members of the Takfiri ISIL militant group in Syria’s troubled northeastern province of al-Hasakah.
According to the so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, an explosives-laden vehicle targeted the Criminal Security Service building in the provincial capital city of Hasakah, located 650 kilometers (400 miles) northeast of the capital, Damascus, on Friday.
The explosion claimed the lives of at least 20 Syrian soldiers, and resulted in the destruction of large parts of the building.
The development came on the same day as Syrian jet fighters launched a series of aerial strikes against the strongholds of foreign-sponsored militants in Hasakah Province, killing and injuring a number of Takfiris and injuring a number of others.
Syrian military aircraft pounded a terrorist hideout in the Gherrat al-Msalleb region of the province. An unspecified number of militants were killed in the attacks.
Similar aerial attacks were also carried out in Sakhr, al-Salaya and al-Saba’a regions, which are located on the southeastern outskirts of Hasakah.
Meanwhile, Syrian army forces clashed with foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists across the conflict-ridden Arab country on Friday, killing and injuring dozens of them.
A number of al-Qaeda-linked al-Nusra Front militants were killed as Syrian troops stormed their hideout in the town of Mahajjah, situated about 63 kilometers (39 miles) south of Damascus.
Separately, Syrian army soldiers raided ISIL hideouts in al-Dawoudiyeh Village, which lies southeast of Hasakah, killing dozens of the terrorists.
Units of government forces also attacked foreign-backed terrorists in the towns of Dayr Hafir, located 50 kilometers (31 miles) east of Aleppo, al-Mansoura, al-Rashideen, Kherbit al-Ma’asir and Khan al-Assal, situated about 14 kilometers (8.6 miles) west of Aleppo.
Since March 2011, the conflict in Syria has reportedly left more than 230,000 people, including almost 11,500 children, dead.
The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees says over 7.2 million people have been internally displaced due to the crisis, while over three million others have fled the conflict to the neighboring countries of Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan.
