Two regime forces have been killed by an ISIS ambush in eastern Raqqa province, according to Zaman al-Wasl reporter..
The attack took place on Sunday evening when Daesh-linked militants attacked an army vehicle at the road of Rusafa-Athariya that links between Aleppo and Raqqa provinces.
Daesh fighters still retain a presence in the vast Badia desert stretching across the country through Homs province and eastwards to the Iraqi border, and continue to carry out deadly attacks.
For over five months, regime forces and allied fighters have come under a series of ambushes, assassinations and bombings in the vast Badia desert, mostly carried out by the Islamic State group.
In April, Daesh killed 18 regime forces in a surprise attack in Al-Sukhna, such an attack was the deadliest in the area since December 2019, when Daesh fighters attacked an army garrison in a gas facility east of Homs city.
Opposition factions and hardline groups have killed more than 220,000 pro-regime forces since the armed conflict erupted nine years ago, according to local monitoring groups.
