DAMASCUS, SYRIA (6: 50 P.M.) – Government forces resume a wide-scale military operation in east Palmyra aimed to oust the Islamic State from the Syrian desert and recapture the gas-rich area.
The offensive was momentarily called off after several Army troops were gunned down by ISIS fighters near the Talilah crossroad.
The resumed assault was further boosted by the Russian attack helicopters which conducted several effective airstrikes against ISIS positions in Talilah, T3 Airbase andArak areas.

BEIRUT: Syrian government forces and US-backed opposition fighters clashed on Tuesday in a remote desert area near the borders with Iraq and Jordan, where tensions have been rising.
The clashes came a day after pro-Syrian media said US, British and Jordanian forces were “massing” on the Jordanian side of the border. The report was likely a reference to an annual US-Jordanian military drill known as “Eager Lion.”
Jordan’s state-run Petra news agency said about 7,400 troops from more than 20 nations are participating.
Syria’s Foreign Minister Walid Al-Moallem warned Jordan on Monday against sending troops to Syria. He also said the Syrian government’s next target will likely be to reach the border with Iraq.
The government-controlled Syrian Central Military Media said the Syrian army and its allies have completed the first phase of an operation aimed at securing the Syrian-Iraqi border, advancing some 45 kilometers (30 miles) and seizing the Al-Sabe Biyar area and two hills.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said Tuesday’s clashes were underway on the southern edge of Syria’s central Homs province, where government forces have been on the offensive for days.
Tlas Al-Salameh, the commander of a rebel faction know as Eastern Lions, said government warplanes carried out raids against his group without causing casualties. He also accused government troops of “obstructing” his group’s efforts to battle Daesh militants. Both the government and the opposition are at war with the extremists.
“The regime forces have entered the area and blocked the way between us and Daesh,” Al-Salameh said, using an Arabic acronym for IS. “We can’t get to Daesh.”
He said clashes were concentrated on the highway linking Damascus with Baghdad, mostly at the Zaza junction. Al-Salameh said rebels responded by striking at Khalkhala air base and a government-controlled power station nearby.

US Major General Bill Hickman, deputy commanding general for the American army in the region, said this year’s “Eager Lion” exercises — the seventh so far — are “the largest and most complex to date”.
The highlight of this year’s exercise, he said, will be that “for the first time ever a global strike mission” will be conducted by “two US Air Force B-1B bomber aircraft” — a long-range multi-mission bomber. A statement by the Jordanian army said troops from Europe, Asia, Africa and the Arab Gulf region are taking part in the exercises which run to May 18, including from Britain, Japan, Kenya and Saudi Arabia.
About 6,000 troops from Jordan and the US took part in last year’s exercises — a joint operation first launched in 2011.
Jordan is a key recipient of US financial aid and a partner in the US-led coalition battling Daesh group in Syria and Iraq.
US forces have trained a small group of vetted Syrian rebels in Jordan, and American instructors have trained Iraqi and Palestinian security forces in Jordan as well over the past few years.
Two years ago, the United States announced its intention to increase overall US assistance to Jordan from $660 million to $1 billion annually for the 2015-2017 period. — AFP
