This terrorist attack comes 5 days after US-sponsored terrorists, believed to be from ISIS assassinated a ranking Syrian Arab Army officer, Brigadier Jaafar Ali Al Akhras, in the southern neighborhood of Al-Iddikhar in the city of Homs by blowing up his car.

Brigadier Al Akhras commanded Syrian Arab Army (SAA) units in a number of Syrian cities and was known for his outstanding courage, especially in close combats with Al Qaeda and its ISIS (ISIL – Daesh) offshoot, he was in the front of liberating Daraya city south of Damascus about 7 years ago.
Obviously, the USA and its camp of evil Zionist Nazis and evildoers especially of the NATO ‘defensive’ alliance and their regional stooges, mainly Qatar and terrorist groups are upset about the recent rapprochements with Syria taken by a number of Arab and non-Arab states despite its tedious efforts to block these rapprochements without achieving its main goal of the war of terror and attrition on Syria.
Officials from the USA, the European Union, and some Arab states have explicitly vowed to increase the economic siege on Syria and threatened to impose sanctions on countries and businesses dealing with Syria, at the same time, allowing ISIS terrorists to flee from its ‘high-security prisons’ and from the ISIS breeding camps of Al Hol and Rukban in the northeast and southeast of Syria it runs with the help of its Kurdish SDF separatist terrorists.
Today’s explosion has all the fingerprints of ISIS, the US-created, sponsored, trained, armed, funded, and commanded offshoot terrorist group from Al Qaeda, the original US-created, sponsored, trained, armed, funded, and commanded terrorist group founded in Afghanistan and spread wherever the USA wants to invade to ‘combat terrorism’ as its officials claim.
