The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) launched a full-scale offensive at Jabal Al-Sha’ar in east Homs, targeting Syrian Arab Army positions at Al-Sha’ar Gas Fields and the Teefour Airbase. The fighting has been non-stop, with ISIS poised to thwart the SAA from the rugged area, despite the ferocious aerial attack by the Syrian Air Force from the sky. ISIS militants were successful in taking control of most of the gas fields, including Wells 101, 102, and 103 that were previously controlled by the SAA.
