BEIRUT (Sputnik) — ISIL positions near a Syrian Air Force base in the vicinity of the city of Tabqah came under fire, according to SANA news agency.
In August 2014, the Islamic State took control of the base, which was the last stronghold of the Syrian Army in the Raqqah province.
After the seizure, the radicals proclaimed the city of Raqqah the capital of the Islamic State.
