VIDEO: Syrian Army shows off destroyed ISIS vehicles at newly captured village near Palmyra

Despite the tragic fall of Palmyra two months ago, its liberation remains a top priority for the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) as government forces have seized a number of villages west of the ancient city in recent days.

At least 16 ISIS insurgents were left dead scattered across the battlefield while many jihadist technicals and a T-55 tank were also completely burnt-out amid the government advances on Friday.

The carnage was put on display at Al-Qalbiyah where Syrian troops of the 5th Legion, Badia branch forces, and military shield forces could also be seen marching through the newly captured village:

Several pictures have emerged of the renewed SAA offensive:
