Following the devastating loss of Palmyra on Sunday, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) set up a new defensive line a few kilometers west of the famed city while exploring a potential counter-offensive.
Despite being heavily outnumbered, with some 1,000 government troops against an estimated 4,000-5,000 invading ISIS militants, several hundred additional Syrian soldiers arrived on Sunday afternoon in order to stiffen the SAA's defenses and boost morale.
The new defensive line was reinforced exclusively by the 'Qalamoun Shield', a largely tribal faction of the Syrian Armed Forces which has its roots in the mountainous Damascus countryside. This unit will join elements of the SAA's 11th Division, 18th Division, the National Defence Forces (NDF) and 'Shaheen Group' (Tiger Forces branch).
