On Tuesday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA), the National Defense Forces (NDF) and the Qalamoun Shield Forces (QSF) liberated 8 villages from ISIS in the eastern Homs countryside, inside the ISIS-held pocket north of the Homs-Palmyra highway.
Government troops liberated Rasm Naqa, Rasm Arnab, Jafiah, Rasm Rik, Ghuzaylah, Haba, Um Sous and Um Huwaysh.
Earlier the SAA, the NDF and the QSF took control of al-Safuaniah, al-Makrumiah, Rasm Swied, Tal Rajm al-Shara, Jurat Nazal, Masadah, Um Al-Rish and Rasm Al-Naqah.
This series of advances once again confirmed that government troops were adamant in their plan to liberate the entire area from ISIS despite a stiff resistance of the terrorist group.
