Terrorist Attack Targets Syrian Army Bus on Deir Ez-Zor-Palmyra Road, Casualties Reported

By Staff, Agencies

Three Syrian Army soldiers were martyred and ten others were injured after targeting the bus carrying them by terrorist groups.

A military source told state-run news agency SANA that “At around 13:40 pm, a bus transports Syrian Arab Army’s soldiers on Deir Ez-Zor–Palmyra road, in al-Malha–al-Shola area, came under fire from the south side of the road by terrorist group coming from al-Tanf area, claiming the lives of three soldiers and injuring ten others.”

This attack comes at a time when some media outlets reported that US occupation forces transported hundreds of Daesh [the Arabic acronym for ‘ISIS/ISIL’] terrorists from Iraq to the Syrian area of al-Tanf to carry out attacks against Syrian army’s personnel and against the civilian citizens in the Syrian al-Jazeera.
