ISIS took control Thursday of two villages and many Assad foreign militias’ checkpoints in Homs eastern countryside.

ISIS-affiliated website, Amaq, said that ISIS terrorists took control of the two villages of Khatab and al-Mazar, located to the northeast of Homs. The terrorists also took control of at least three checkpoints run by the Assad Iranian terrorists near the town of Jib al-Jarrah.

ISIS has recently launched a series of coordinated attacks which enabled its terrorists to capture strategic areas in Homs eastern countryside, including the ancient city of Palmyra and its neighborhoods. The attacks also made the T-4 Assad Airbase surrounded by the terrorist group.
