DAMASCUS, Syria, March 14 (NNN-SANA) – The Daesh group launched a counter-offensive on the U.S.-backed Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) on Wednesday, with suicide bombers in eastern Syria, a war monitor reported.
Taking advantage of a sand storm that hit eastern Syria, the militants sent five suicide bombers, who detonated themselves during intense clashes with the SDF, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Britain-based watchdog group said, the battles were raging on the outskirts of the farmlands of Baghouz in the eastern countryside of Deir al-Zour province, as the farmlands are the last Daesh-held areas in eastern Syria.
The battles raged recently as thousands of civilians and Daesh militants fled the last Daesh-held areas in Baghouz.
The SDF fighters are launching their last offensive to eliminate the remnants of the Daesh in eastern Syria.
The SDF has been on a crushing offensive in eastern Syria against the Daesh, since last Sept.– NNN-SANA
