SYRIAN WAR REPORT – MAY 24, 2018: ARMY TO START NEW OPERATION IN RESPONSE TO ISIS ATTACKS The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and Liwa al-Quds have repelled an ISIS attack on their positions west of al-Mayadin in the province of Deir Ezzor killing at least 8 terrorists. According to pro-government sources, there are currently about 1,500 ISIS members and commanders operating in the Homs desert. The increased activity of these terrorists may trigger an SAA military operation in order to fully eliminate them earlier than it was expected. Iran’s ambassador to Jordan Mojtaba Ferdosipour revealed that Iranian forces will not participate in the expected the SAA operation against militants in southern Syria. Ferdosipour confirmed that negotiations between the Syrian government and local militants are ongoing to find a peaceful solution if this is possible.
