The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported 34 casualties in what it called the bloodiest attack by “ISIS” since the beginning of 2022.

According to the observatory, the attack on Wednesday targeted positions in Al-Rasafah desert in Al-Raqqah-Homs-Deir ez-Zor triangle and claimed the lives of 34 regime soldiers and members of the regime militia NDF (National Defense Forces, also Difa al-Watani).  The death toll is likely to increase due to the presence of some injured in a serious condition, in addition to information about other deaths.

According to SOHR statistics, the number of fatalities in military operations in the Syrian desert since early 2023 has increased to 518.
