Fierce clashes between Daesh and pro-regime
Beirut - Arab Today

Fierce clashes between Daesh and pro-regime forces in central Syria have left over 150 dead in 24 hours, mostly militants, a monitor said Sunday.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 120 Daesh fighters “were killed in clashes in and around the town of Uqayribat in the eastern Hama countryside... along with at least 35 regime troops and loyalist militiamen.
The town is the militant group’s last bastion in the central province apart from a handful of small villages.
Pro-government forces seized Uqayribat on Friday night, but Daesh responded with a counter-offensive on Saturday that left it in control of most of the town, Observatory chief Rami Abdel Rahman said.
An intense barrage of artillery fire and Syrian and Russian airstrikes on militant positions allowed pro-regime forces on Sunday morning to push the militants back out of the town and advance on villages to the west that remain under Daesh control.
Daesh has controlled Uqayribat since 2014, using it to launch attacks on regime-held areas and a strategically vital road Abdel Rahman described as “the only lifeline for the regime between Aleppo and central and southern Syria.”
Regime forces, backed by heavy Russian airstrikes, launched a major assault on Daesh-held parts of Hama in June.
“By consolidating their control of (Uqayribat) and ousting IS (Daesh) from the surrounding villages, regime forces could oust the organization from the whole of Hama province,” Abdel Rahman said.
Other rebel groups still control parts of the province’s rural north.
Hama, which borders on six other Syrian provinces, is strategically vital to the Assad regime, separating opposition forces in Idlib from Damascus to the south and the regime’s coastal heartlands to the west.
Daesh has suffered multiple defeats across Syria and neighboring Iraq in recent months, notably in its main Syrian base of Raqqa.
On Friday a US-backed Kurdish-Arab coalition seized Raqqa’s Old City and was advancing on the militants in the heavily defended city center.
The Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) began their offensive in May, capturing the city of Tabqa and a key dam nearby before entering Raqqa city in early June.
Meanwhile, pro-regime forces have advanced against Daesh in the eastern part of Homs province and western Deir Ez-Zor, where they have come to within 19 km of the provincial capital.
Syria’s conflict has killed more than 320,000 people and displaced millions since it started with anti-government demonstrations in 2011
