Syrian Army Foils ISIS Attack on Airbase
The Syrian Army has reportedly foiled an attack by the Islamic State (ISIS) on a major airbase in the country's eastern region.
According to sources, ISIS militants launched a surprise attack on the T-4 airbase in Homs province, which is a key military installation and a major hub for Russian airpower in Syria.
The attack, which began early on Tuesday morning, saw ISIS fighters attempting to breach the airbase's defenses and capture key facilities. However, the Syrian Army, backed by Russian air support, was able to repel the attack and push the ISIS fighters back.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based monitoring group, reported that at least 15 ISIS fighters were killed in the battle, while several Syrian soldiers were also wounded.
The T-4 airbase is a strategic location, as it is used by both the Syrian and Russian militaries to launch airstrikes against ISIS targets in eastern Syria. The airbase is also home to a number of Russian military personnel and equipment.
The attack on the airbase is seen as a significant escalation by ISIS, which has been struggling to regain territory in Syria in recent months. The group has been pushed back by the Syrian Army and its allies, including Russia and Iran, in a series of battles in recent weeks.
The foiling of the attack on the T-4 airbase is a significant victory for the Syrian Army and its allies, and is likely to be seen as a major blow to ISIS's morale and capabilities.
