The 'rebels' were not only fighting ISIS, they were fighting Assad too. Those bombs were never meant to 'help' ISIS. The only thing you have proven is that Russia happened to bomb at the same time ISIS was fighting the rebels and Assad, Russia in this case was aiding Assad against the rebels, they were not aiding ISIS. In fact the main goal of the 'rebels' is not to fight ISIS, but Assad, hence it is called a
civil war.
The rebels have been assaulting Assad too, without ISIS presence. Keep in mind , the rebels are dominated by Jihadi/salafist groups, they are not much better than ISIS.

The rebels were the ones starting the Daraa offensive in 2017.

Then Assad striked back.

Can I ask who is fighting ISIS in Deir-ez-Zor? Or is it also a 'little town'?

But hey if it keeps you asleep at night by accusing Russia of supporting ISIS, feel free to do just that.
here are some examples of Russia (and Assad) fighting ISIS before 2017:

I stand by it, Russia supporting ISIS is absolute bullsh1t.
'Their' land? As much I hate to say it to you, Assad is the most legitimate entity in Syria, not the salafist rebels or the Kurds.
You say Assad is beign a monster to innocent people, so are the 'rebels', so is PKK,YPG.
I'm not saying that Israel, Usa or the west is supporting ISIS, I am not going to stoop that low. But there are some shady reports about Israel/ISIS relations, however. Perhaps you have missed the links I have cited earlier? You be the judge, the point I was making is that there are more reports of Israel supporting ISIS than Russia supporting ISIS.

This is also suspicious (this is from Sputnik news, so I question the truthfulness a little)
