A roadside bombing on Wednesday killed one pro-regime fighter and wounded others in the eastern countryside of Hama province.
The suspected-Daesh attack near Atharyia road has followed days of clashes between regime forces and the radical group in the central desert province of Homs, according to AFP.
The clashes that erupted on Thursday have taken the lives of 18 pro-regime fighters and 26 Daesh militants, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said.
"The fighting started in the night of Thursday to Friday with a jihadist assault on regime positions" near the town of Al-Sukhna, Observatory head Rami Abdel Rahman said.
Daesh have retained a roving presence in Syria's vast Badia desert, despite losing their last shred of territory last year. They regularly carry out attacks there.
