SHAFAQNA – Taking advantage of the US missile strike on a Syrian airbase, Daesh forces launched a major offensive to gain control of strategic oil areas near Palmyra, but failed, a local governor told RT.
Earlier, unnamed sources reported that Daesh (IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL) had launched a massive offensive in the eastern part of the Homs Governorate and, without essential air support, the situation could worsen any moment, a local military source told Al-Masdar.
