The Islamic State on Sunday has taken control of Jazel village in the northern countryside of Homs city, the hardline group said in statement as its fighters keep encircling a nearby oil field.
Supporters of the the radical group said ISIS is pressing hard to capture Jazel oil field after taking full control of the strategic village.
Meanwhile, the United States and its allies carried out 21 air strikes on ISIS strongholds in Iraq and Syria on Saturday, the Command Joint Task Force said in a statement on Sunday.
In Syria, four air strikes hit construction equipment, a tactical unit and a fighting position, Reuters said.
The U.S.-led coalition has been ramping up its air strikes on Islamic State forces in recent weeks, although it is still struggling to achieve a breakthrough against the group, especially in Iraq. In late July, Turkey joined the coalition in launching strikes on Islamic State targets in Syria.
