"Civilians!"
As the machine gunners in each vehicle were positioned and ready to fire, Song Heping immediately sent out a reminder on the intercom.
"Don't shoot!"
Upon hearing Song Heping's reminder, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Through the binoculars, Song Heping clearly saw that these were ordinary Syrian civilians, young and old, men and women, some pulling carts, others carrying bundles wrapped in bed linens, bulging with belongings.
"Ahead is Isriye City."
The driver pointed towards the town ahead.
"Mm, be cautious."
Song Heping remembered this town on the map.
This is a town about 100 kilometers from Latakia Port.
It's the gateway to Latakia and the necessary path from Latakia to Deir Ezzor.
He retrieved the map, checked the surroundings, confirmed the approximate coordinates, and then picked up the intercom.
"All vehicles, once we enter the city, move through quickly, do not linger excessively in the city."
