The Russian Air Force has been relentlessly targeting the Islamic
State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) between the Hama and Homs Governorates
as of late, striking several of the terrorist group’s strongholds and
convoys in the cities of Quraytayn, Palmyra, ‘Aqayrbat, and Qunbar.
On Saturday evening in the Hama Governorate’s eastern
countryside, the Russian Air Force struck two of the largest ISIS
military camps near the Al-Raqqa Governorate border, destroying these
sites after conducting a half dozen airstrikes.
According to a military source from the Syrian Arab Air Force, the
Russian airstrikes caused a massive explosion inside the ISIS stronghold
of Aqayrbat in the Al-Salamiyah District of east Hama; this attack
reportedly struck a missile depot inside the terrorist camp.
The massive explosions from the city of Aqayrbat could be heard as
far west as Al-Salamiyah and as far south as the Al-Sha’ar Mountains
(Jabal Al-Sha’ar) in the Homs Governorate.
In addition to destroying the ISIS military camp at
Aqayrbat, the Russian Air Force also destroyed the terrorist group’s
second largest camp in east Hama at the nearby town of Qunbar, where
dozens of enemy combatants were reportedly killed by airstrikes.
Much of ISIS’ missiles and rockets were stored in the Aqayrbat and
Qunbar camps; this is one of the reasons why the Russian Air Force
targeted them on Saturday night.
