(FNA)- Syrian fighter jets hit ISIL positions in Raqqa province and managed to kill tens of high-profile Takfiri commanders in the area.

A senior Syrian military commander, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that tens of terrorists were killed in Ayid Saqir region in Raqqa province on Monday after the Syrian warplanes heavily targeted their positions.

Sham Times news website, meantime, reported that the Syrian security and intelligence forces have obtained intel about the concentration camps of ISIL commanders.  

In a similar operation on Tuesday, Saudi warplanes killed 140 ISIL terrorists in Raqqa province.

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.
