Syria: Isis claims new attack on military in the east

(ANSAmed) - BEIRUT, JANUARY 25 - Four Syrian government soldiers, including an officer, were killed in eastern Syria in an attack claimed by ISIS this morning.

    Syrian media reports.

The Syrian government agency Sana confirms that at least three soldiers were killed and 10 others wounded in an ambush along the road that connects Homs to Dayr az Zor, the capital of the eastern region rich in energy resources and under the control of government forces, Russian forces and militias pro-Iranian.

    However, Sana attributes indirect responsibility to the United States, stating that "the terrorists" came from the south, from the Tanf region, on the border between Syria and Jordan in an area effectively controlled by the United States.

    The Observatory for its part had reported the killing of four soldiers of the Republican Guard of Damascus and the wounding of another 10 near Shula in the Dayraz Zor region.

    In today's claim by Isis, the toll of about twenty victims between killed and wounded is confirmed and it affirms that the attack was carried out against a convoy of soldiers of the Republican Guard.

    For weeks there have been attacks attributed to Isis or explicitly claimed by the jihadist group in central and eastern Syria against government forces directed in the rich oil region of Dayr az Zor.
