Al Mayadeen's correspondent to Syria reported that the funeral processions of the Homs military academy martyrs have commenced at the military hospital in Homs. 

The funeral procession of the 28 martyrs was also reportedly attended by the Syrian Minister of Defense Ali Abbas. 

The Defense Minister, who was attending the graduation ceremony yesterday, told journalists, commenting on the terrorist attack: "We pay this price for our country's dignity, may God have mercy on the souls of the martyrs."

In the most recent assessment, the Syrian Ministry of Health reported that the death tally of the terrorist attack has risen to 89 martyrs, which include 31 women and five children. 

Earlier today,  Hezbollah issued a statement condemning the terrorist attack. The resistance movement said that the attack is indicative of the persistent efforts to destabilize Syria and terrorize its people.

In retaliation to the terrorist attack, the Syrian Arab Army launched offensives against the headquarters of the Turkistan Islamic Party and the Brigade of Emigrants in Areeha and Idlib. 

The Turkistan Islamic Party and the Brigade of Emigrants are the two armed groups that have the technological capabilities to conduct drone attacks, an Al Mayadeen correspondent reported, citing reliable sources.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent to the region reported, citing reliable sources, that advanced UAV equipment was transported to the two terror groups in question around three months ago, with France having supplied them with the technology.
