Syrian Army retakes all lost points in the Golan Heights as jihadist offensive grinds to a halt
[ALMASDARNEWS] The newly launched ’Road to Damascus’ offensive proved far from successful for a coalition of rebel groups in Quneitra province who have thrown hundreds of jihadist turbans and dozens of military vehicles at the government-held town of Madinat al-Baath over the past week.On Wednesday evening, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) regrouped for a major counter-offensive, retaking the final four points that were overrun by opposition forces five days ago. Amid the SAA assault, at least 20 rebel fighters were killed including none other than Abu Osamah al-Karar himself, a Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (Al-Qaeda) commander who led the initial assault on behalf of the unified ’Army of Muhammed’ operations room.
