The Al Watan newspaper has released a video showing a pro-government Afghan Shia militia, Liwa Fatemiyoun, using the Iranian Tarigh portable radar system in the anti-ISIS fight in the area of Sukhna in the Syrian province of Homs.

The video confirms a deep involvement of Iran and Iranian-backed groups in the ongoing government advance against ISIS along the Palmyra-Deir Ezzor highway.
