ISIS has carried out another substantial attack in northern Syria on Monday, attacking a bus carrying pro-government fighters on the road between Homs and Raqqa. It was the deadliest attack since March, with at least 15 killed and a number of others badly wounded.
The bus was hit in an ambush, but the exact details are still emerging. Syrian state media are reporting that most of casualties are soldiers, along with some pro-government militia members.
ISIS has yet to issue a statement on the attack, which is unusual as they’re normally eager to take credit for apparent successful strikes.
ISIS has carried out several attacks in recent months with casualties of around 10-15 people, and seem to be launching where the opportunity presents itself. Though ISIS doesn’t control territory as they did in years past, they have shown they are able to carry out attacks.
The MSM will probably use this to justify more hawkish but “humanitarian” military actions against the people of Syria. What?… You don’t believe me? See this: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/18/world/middleeast/us-airstrike-syrian-troops-isis-russia.html
My, my, my, isn’t it interesting that the target was a bus load of Syrian soldiers? Now, just who would do such a thing? Perhaps it is the illegal country (Israel) that has been bombing Syria. ISIS is a necessary culprit, when the reality is Israel.
Time for Russia, who hit terrorists harbored by the US in their occupation of al Tanf the other day, to take out the isis pocket in US occupied eastern Syria. US out of Syria. Now.
