The soldiers of the Khilāfah liberate the city of as-Sukhnah in
Wilāyat Hims and display the severed heads of Nusayrī soldiers
the stadium area, the 8th Brigade
base, and the “counterterrorism”
administration, where they freed the
Muslims imprisoned in the dungeons
of the Safawiyyīn. It was a hard-fought
victory, but the mujāhidīn spent little
time celebrating, choosing instead to
pursue the fleeing Safawī soldiers and
their Sahwah allies, to continue their
march forward towards the neighboring
regions, and to prepare for the next
major battle.
The liberation of ar-Ramādī happened
together with a major advance in the
West by the armies of the Khilāfah,
who were leading a renewed offensive in
Wilāyat Hims. They liberated the city
of as-Sukhnah and the nearby Najīb
gas company, and also took control
of a large part of the city of Tadmur
(Palmyra). They then captured the
checkpoint guarding the al-Hayl gas
field on the road between as-Sukhnah
and Tadmur after which they managed
to take control of a large part of the
gas field itself and lay siege to Nusayrī
forces inside the Ārāk gas company. Just
days later, the mujāhidīn took control
of the Ārāk gas company after killing at
32 REPORT
least 170 Nusayrī soldiers during the course of four days of
battles. These successes were topped off by another major
victory yesterday as the mujāhidīn went on to completely
liberate the city of Tadmur.
The advances made by the Islamic State in al-Anbār and
Hims, by Allah’s grace, demonstrate the mujāhidīn’s resilience
towards crusader coalition airstrikes, and their determination
to punish the enemies of Allah wherever they find them no
matter how many obstacles they must pass through to reach
them – and this without the need to declare a “storm of
resolve.” The crusaders heavily underestimated the firmness
and strength of the mujāhidīn, and their plans – by Allah’s
permission – will soon crumble.
And all praise is due to Allah by whose blessing all good is
achieved.
