20 ISIS fighters were killed in the town of Jassim in the city of Daraa in southern Syria by the Russian and Syrian forces, according to the Russian “TASS” news agency quoted a Russian officer, who also said that among them are responsible for the bombing of a soldier’s bus.
According to “Tass,” the operation took place in the southern Daraa Governorate, according to Mayger General Oleg Igorov.
“The Russian group concerned with interacting with the security units of the Syrian Armed Forces carried out a special operation in the town of Jassim in Daraa Governorate, south of Syria, to liquidate the ISIS fighters. ”
According to TASS, the fighters took part in the bus explosion last week that killed at least 18 Syrian soldiers close to Damascus.
Igorov continued by saying that the perpetrator of the bus attack and other individuals connected to ISIS operations in the Daraa and Raqqa Governorate were among the casualties of the operation. Reuters was unable to independently confirm these claims.
One of the horrific assaults that have been launched against the Syrian government forces for months was the bus attack. No one quickly took responsibility for the bombing, and neither did the Syrian government.
It is significant that Russian forces have been present in Syria since 2015 and have supported the government’s effort to reclaim areas once held by ISIS militants.
