The terrorist organization ISIS launched an attack in Raqqa province in northeastern Syria, killing 10 members of the Syrian army and wounding 6 more, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) reported on Tuesday that ISIS launched a "violent and sudden" attack on checkpoints and vehicles belonging to regime forces in the eastern region of Raqqa district, noting that the death toll is expected to rise, as some of the wounded are in critical condition.
The gunmen set fire to military vehicles before withdrawing from the attack area, after controlling the target area for hours.
It is worth noting that the Syrian regime controls areas in the eastern and southern regions of Raqqa province, while the Kurdish fighters control the largest part of this province.
ISIS lost the city as part of the defeats they suffered after taking control of large areas of Iraq and Syria in 2014.
Since the organization's defeat, its members have periodically launched attacks against Syrian regime forces in the city, targeting its forces, bases, vehicles and convoys.
At the beginning of August, 7 people were killed, most of them regime forces, in an attack launched by the organization on a convoy of oil tankers in the eastern region of Hama district, which is an extension of the vast Syrian desert.
Also, Kurdish fighters, with the support of the forces of the international coalition led by the USA, are chasing ISIS fighters in all the areas of eastern Syria that are under their control.
ISIS lost all areas of control in which 4 leaders of the organization were killed, the last of whom was Abu al-Hussein al-Husseini al-Qureshi, who was killed in clashes in northwestern Syria.
