Russian jets hit Islamic State targets in Palmyra, Aleppo
Russian jets hit Islamic State targets in the Syrian city of Palmyra and the northern province of Aleppo, Syrian television said on Tuesday, quoting a military source.
The strikes destroyed 20 vehicles and three weapons depots in Islamic State-held Palmyra, it said. In Aleppo, they hit the towns of Al-Bab and Deir Hafer, about 20 kilometers east of a military airport currently besieged by Islamic State fighters.
Al-Manar television, run by the Lebanese Hezbollah group which is allied to Syria, said the Russian air force also carried out four raids in the Jabal al-Zawiya area in the northwestern province of Idlib.
