TEHRAN (FNA)- The Russian Air Force struck a long oil convoy of the ISIL terrorist group in the Northeastern part of Homs province near the town of al-Sukhnah.

The Russian airstrike destroyed half a dozen of oil tankers that were smuggling crude supplies from Deir Ezzur to Raqqa in order to sell them on the black market.


The Russian Air Force has constantly targeted the terrorist group�s oil supply routes along Sukhnah-Sufayah Road that leads to Raqqa province; this has made it difficult for ISIL to smuggle crude supplies.


On Friday, Syrian fighter jets, in a fresh series of combat fights, targeted heavily the ISIL gatherings and concentration centers in the Eastern part of Homs province, pinning the terrorists down behind their strongholds.


The Syrian army's aircraft targeted several positions and gatherings of the ISIL terrorists in Jbab Hamad, Un al-Reesh, Rasm al-Taweel and to the South of al-Hayr al-Gharbi Palace site in the Eastern part of Homs, which ended in the killing or wounding of tens of terrorists and destroyed their military equipment.
