Two years after losing their last points with Iraq … the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them reach the Syrian – Iraqi border after failed attempts confronted by strikes of the International Coalition

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned from several reliable sources that the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities managed to reach the Iraqi borders at the eastern desert of Palmyra, and the sources asserted to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights that the advancement operation was carried out by the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian and non-Syrian nationalities who were stationed in the Syrian desert in the east and southeast of Palmyra city, as they turned around a camp that belongs to the factions backed by the international coalition in an area located about 20 km from the camp which is located about 50 km in the east of al-Tanf border crossing which is controlled by the factions.

This operation was carried out after several attempts by the regime forces and militiamen loyal to them of Syrian, Iraqi, Iranian and Lebanese nationalities to advance towards the Syrian – Iraqi borders, but the attempts were met by a state of alert and were confronted by the international coalition’s warplanes which targeted convoys of the regime forces, which destroyed it and killed 40 members at least and injured tens of them.
