Fighting has resumed between Syrian regime forces and Islamic State group militants in central Syria this week, one of the last hold-outs of the jihadi group in the country.
The clashes took place close to al-Sukhna a town which lies between Palymra and Deir Ezzor, on Monday, with regime airstrikes hitting the IS positions, according to Reuters.
"A number of air strikes targeting [IS] movements in the eastern Badiya, specifically on one of the dirt roads leading to the town of al-Sukhna and southeast of the town," pro-regime al-Watan newspaper reported on Tuesday.
Fighting between the two sides also broke out on Monday in the desert region of Syria although there were no reports of casualties.
