AhlulBayt News Agency - The so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham’s offensive at the T-4 Military Airport finally ended on Friday after the Syrian Arab Army’s 525th Regiment of the 18th Tank Division recaptured several sites at the northern flank of this base in east Homs.
ISIS launched this offensive earlier this week after they made huge strides at the Al-Sha’ar Gas Fields.
The terrorist group’s offensive began with a lot of promise, as they seized the abandoned tank base that is located just 8 km north of the T-4 Military Airport.
However, ISIS’ success would not last for long, thanks in large part to the Russian Air Force’s strategic bombing campaign that killed a large number of terrorists in northeastern Homs this past week.
With ISIS unable to continue their offensive, the Syrian Armed Forces took the opportunity to recapture all the points they lost over the last 72 hours and expel the terrorist group from the airport’s vicinity.
The Homs-Palmyra Highway is once again reopened to the public after being closed two days ago.
