While the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) stormed the checkpoints surrounding the T-4 Pumping Station and the Tiyas Militay Airbase, the Syrian Armed Forces launched their own assault at the village of Al-Bayarat inside the eastern countryside of the Homs Governorate.
The Syrian Arab Army’s 67th Brigade of the 18th Tank Battalion – in coordination with Liwaa Suqour Al-Sahra (Desert Hawks Brigade) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) – attacked ISIS’ defensive positions at Al-Bayarat, killing 19 armed combatants from the terrorist group before they were able to impose full-control over the village.
