On Monday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 104th Airborne Brigade of the Republican Guard (Al-Harss Al-Jamhouri) carried out multiple attacks on Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) military installments on Sakr Island (Hajeewa Sakr), resulting in the death of a number of militants in the 2nd and 3rd Districts. The 104th Brigade’s attack on the 2nd and 3rd Districts resulted in 19 ISIS fighters killed and another 22 wounded before they were able to capture a number of building blocks in the vicinity.
