Pro-government forces, led by the Syrian Arab Army 5th Assault Corps, have continued developing momentum against ISIS in the area of Uqayribat north of the Homs-Palmyra highway.
Government troops have captured a humber of hills near the village of Salba and established a fire control over it increasing pressure on ISIS positions north of Uqayribat.
If the army and its allies secure these heights, they will have an upper hand in the upcoming battle for ISIS-held the villages in the area.
