DEIR EZ-ZOR, Syria (North Press) – Unidentified gunmen attacked on Tuesday a military vehicle of the Iranian-backed Liwa al-Quds militia in the Syrian Desert, resulting in casualties.
A source in the Syrian government forces told North Press unidentified gunmen targeted with machine guns a vehicle carrying militants of the Liwa al-Quds. The militants had completed a military training course and were heading to their post in the city of Palmyra.
