Syrian Army Kills 400 ISIL Terrorists in Raqqa Province

(FNA)- The Syrian army artillery units pounded the ISIL's positions in the city of Raqqa, Northern Syria, killing tens of militants.

At least 400 ISIL terrorists were killed in the Syrian artillery attacks on a building known as al-Servat al-Hayvanieh which was ISIL's command center.

Raqqa city, the capital of Raqqa province, is ISIL's most important base in Northern Syria.

Last week, military sources in the Northern parts of the country confirmed that a number of ISIL leasers were killed and wounded in a Syrian air force raid in Raqqa.

The sources said that an ISIL leader of Saudi nationality with three of his guards were among the killed fighters last Saturday's air attack of the Syrian warplanes on Raqqa.

The ISIL Takfiri terrorists currently control shrinking swathes of Syria and Iraq. They have threatened all communities, including Shiites, Sunnis, Kurds, Christians, Ezadi Kurds and others, as they continue their atrocities in Iraq.

Senior Iraqi officials have blamed Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and some Persian Gulf Arab states for the growing terrorism in their country.

The ISIL has links with Saudi intelligence and is believed to be indirectly supported by the Israeli regime.
