Syrie: les forces du régime à l'entrée de la ville antique de Palmyre ...
ReplyDeleteLes troupes du régime syrien, appuyées par l'aviation russe, se trouvent ce mercredi à l'entrée de la ville antique de Palmyre qu'elles veulent reprendre au groupe terroriste État islamique (EI), rapporte l'Observatoire syrien des droits de l'Homme (OSDH).
"Les forces du régime sont désormais à 2 km du côté sud de la ville et à 5 km du côté ouest", a indiqué à l'AFP Rami Abdel Rahmane, directeur de l'OSDH qui dispose d'un large réseau de sources à travers la Syrie.
D'après l'OSDH, l'armée "a avancé après avoir pris la colline d'al-Hiyal située du côté sud-ouest et qui surplombe Palmyre", tombée aux mains des djihadistes de l'EI il y a près d'un an.
Appuyée par l'aviation russe, l'armée a débuté le 7 mars une bataille pour reprendre la ville inscrite par l'Unesco au patrimoine de l'Humanité et prise par l'EI en mai 2015....AFP....rtbf.be
