Syrian Army liberates new points from ISIL in northeast Palmyra

---

The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their field operations in the northeastern countryside of Homs, Sunday, striking the Islamic State's (ISIL) positions near the strategic Al-Sha'er Gas Fields.

Backed by Russian airstrikes, the Syrian Arab Army's 5th Corps and 18th Tank Division managed to liberate at least two points near the Al-Sha'er Gas Fields, while also killing and wounding scores of Islamic State terrorists.

According to a military source in Palmyra, the Syrian Arab Army liberated points 943 and 1005 in the Al-Sha'er Mountains of Homs.

With these points captured, the Syrian Arab Army will likely make another attempt to clear the Al-Sha'er Gas Fields and its corresponding mountain range in the coming days.
