Russian
military build up in Syria has meant the Syrian government has
increased its attacks on ISIS strongholds, joining US operations.
At least 38 ISIS fighters have died over the last 24 hours as the
Assad government has led airstrikes against the group in Palmyra and two
other towns in the Homs province, according to Aljazeera.
The Syrian air force has been increasing attacks as
it has received reinforcements and equipment from Russia, a monitoring
group said.
"The number of raids is growing and the strikes are more precise
after the Syrian air force received arms and more efficient planes from
Moscow," said Rami Abdelrahman, director of the Syrian Observatory of
Human Rights.
However many civilians were also killed and injured in the strikes, the British-based observatory said in a statement today.
At least 12 civilians were killed and tens of others injured in the
intense aerial bombing in Palmyra. Many of the wounded are dying due to a
lack of basic medical supplies in the city, the group said.
There is only one civilian doctor working in a single field hospital
in Palmyra meaning many wounded have to be transported to the city of
Al-Raqqah, an ISIS stronghold.
The ancient Syrian city of Palmyra has been under ISIS control since
May 20 2015. The group has committed many atrocities in the city
including beheading Khaled al-Asaad, the archaeologist and historian who
maintained and watched over Palymra's extensive cultural artefacts. He
was accused of "apostasy" and his death was followed by the destruction
of the 2,000 year old temple of Baalshamin.
