US occupation forces providing logistical, military support to Daesh terrorists in Syrian Desert: Report
Amid Washington’s attempts to further cement its foothold in Syria, US occupation forces deployed in the strategic al-Tanf region, near the borders with Iraq and Jordan, are reportedly providing logistical and military support to Takfiri Daesh terrorists.
According to a report by the Arabic-language service of Russia’s Sputnik news agency, Russian airstrikes have been going on for the third week in a row on Daesh positions in the Syrian Desert.
A high-ranking field source told Sputnik that Daesh elements are currently active in Syria's northern province of Raqqah and the central province of Hama, and reconnaissance drones have identified their strongholds.
The source added that Russian fighter jets have responded to their movements and launched 18 airstrikes, following which four Daesh bastions were destroyed and 40 Takfiri terrorists were killed and wounded.
He also said American occupation forces in the al-Tanf region provide a great deal of logistical and military support to Deash terrorists, and the support reaches the extremists through dirt roads that connect Raqqah and Hama deserts.
Earlier this month, Syria’s official news agency SANA, citing local sources speaking on condition of anonymity, reported that a number of Deash terrorists were being trained at the US military base in al-Shaddadi town of Syria’s northeastern province of Hasakah over the past few days on how to fire rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs), shoulder-launched rockets as well as anti-armor and anti-aircraft missiles.
The sources added that the Takfiris are set to be transferred within a short period of time to Jazira Region in the eastern Syrian province of Dayr al-Zawr and the Syrian Desert, northeast of the capital Damascus, to attack positions of Syrian army forces, vital facilities and popular gatherings.
A number of captured Daesh terrorists have already confessed to close cooperation with US military forces stationed at al-Tanf base in the central Syrian province of Homs on carrying out various acts of terror and sabotage.
During confessions broadcast on Syria’s state-run television network in May 2020, several terrorists revealed that they were instructed by American forces to target Syrian government troops in and around the ancient city of Palmyra, the Tiyas Military Airbase – also known as the T-4 Airbase, the Shaer gas field as well as nearby oil wells.
