Russian-Syrian airstrikes kill dozens of terrorists - media --Warplanes have attacked militant forces in central Syria, SANA has reported | 7 Dec 2024 | Russian and Syrian warplanes have carried out airstrikes targeting terrorist forces in the northeast part of Homs province, killing dozens of militants, the state-run SANA news agency has said. The large-scale fighting in Syria erupted last week after several terrorist groups, spearheaded by Hayat Tahrir-al-Sham (HTS), an offshoot of Jabhat al-Nusra, launched a surprise offensive against government forces. The jihadists have made rapid progress, particularly in Aleppo province, and the Syrian army has withdrawn from the city of Hama. However, the Damascus government has received support from Russian warplanes stationed in the country. In a post on Telegram on Saturday, the outlet said, citing a military source, that the joint "concentrated" bombardment targeted clusters of terrorists in the Homs countryside. The attacks killed "dozens" of jihadists and destroyed their vehicles and equipment, the report said, without providing the exact tally.
