The Russian and the US Aerospace Forces and its allies, continue to encircle militants of the ISIL terrorist group (banned in Russia) near Akerbat settlement in Syria’s Hama province, the Russian Defense Ministry said in a statement on Saturday.
“A convoy of 12 ISIL trucks carrying weapons and ammunition and off-road vehicles with mounted heavy machine guns, anti-aircraft weapons and mortars was destroyed on the road between Deir el-Ezzor and Rasafe,” the ministry said.
Moreover, the Lebanese Hezbollah group said in a statement on Saturday that it had fulfilled its obligations by safely transporting a convoy of the Islamic State fighters and their families out of Syrian government territory.
The US warplanes were stopping the convoy from moving towards its destination in IS-held territory and were also preventing any aid reaching the buses, which had old people, casualties and pregnant women aboard, the statement concluded.
