Local sources confirmed that three members of the regime's National Defense Militia were killed yesterday, Wednesday, in the eastern countryside of Homs.

Nidaa Post quoted local sources in the eastern countryside of Homs, saying that a patrol of the National Defense Militia arrived at the outskirts of As-Sukhna area yesterday morning, Wednesday, coming from "Ar-Rusafa" area, as part of a campaign to comb the desert.

The sources added that the sound of two successive explosions was heard in the area, which later turned out to have killed three people, one of whom is a leader in the ranks of the National Defense Militia, who is called "Ahmed Al-Muhanna."

Loyal media outlets mourned killing and wounding a number of auxiliary forces participating in the campaign to comb the Syrian desert.

It is noteworthy that ISIS cells spread in large areas of the Syrian desert and from time to time drain the forces of the regime and the militia supporting it, through offensive operations.
