(Zaman Al Wasl)- Islamic State fighters killed 14 regime soldiers in surprise attack on al-Shaer gas field east of Homs city, sources said Sunday.
20 more soldiers were wounded in the attack as clashes are still ongoing amid fears that regime may lose the strategic field to favor of ISIS for the third time in two years.
The first battle of the Shaer gas field occurred in mid-July 2014 where ISIS took the field from regime forces and killed at least 270 soldiers. The battle had been followed by an Army counter-attack. It was one of the deadliest battles up-to-date in the war between ISIS and regime troops.
