(ISIS) attacks in the desert, a war monitor said, amid a large-scale combing operation by Damascus against the jihadists.

"16 members of regime forces, including a high-ranking officer, were killed after entering a minefield and being attacked by ISIS members while regime forces were on a combing mission in Sukhna desert in Homs," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a Britannia-based war monitor.

Damascus, with Russian air support, has been carrying out an expansive sweeping operation in areas where ISIS remains active, with a recent rise in deadly jihadist attacks killing many Syrian government soldiers, as well as pro-regime National Defense Forces (NDF) fighters.

In a separate attack later on Wednesday, ISIS button men killed "three members of the regime forces, including an officer," in the Homs desert and injured two others, the Observatory said.

The jihadists have killed at least 46 people, including 32 Syrian army soldiers and six civilians, in areas controlled by the Syrian government in eight days, according to the Observatory

(ISIS) members in Syria’s central Hama province, a conflict monitor reported.

"Two members of the National Defense Forces [NDF] militia were killed and three others were maimed as a result of an IED explosion planted by ISIS members," said the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, a UK-based war monitor.

The fighters were struck by the IED as their vehicle passed over the explosive in the eastern countryside of Syria’s Hama province, the monitor added.

The attack comes amid a large-scale sweeping operation by Damascus in areas where the bully boy group remains active. Attacks by ISIS in Syria have been on the rise recently, especially in the vast expanses of its eastern and northern deserts amid a security vacuum.

On Monday, three Syrian army soldiers were killed in an ambush by ISIS button men in the central province of Homs.

Two days prior, five members of a pro-Syrian regime militia were killed in another ISIS attack in Homs.
