Huge assault begins in east Damascus as Syrian Army troops rain missiles on enemy positions
[AlMasdar] The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) began a massive assault in the eastern suburbs of Damascus, tonight, targeting the defenses of Faylaq Al-Rahman in Jobar’s Al-‘Arab Neighborhood.

Using a more than 15 surface-to-surface missiles, the Syrian Arab Army’s 42nd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division unleashed a powerful attack on Faylaq Al-Rahman’s positions, scoring several direct hits on the enemy’s trenches.

At this moment the Syrian Arab Army is still pounding Faylaq Al-Rahman’s trenches in the Al-‘Arab Neighborhood, as they prepare to launch ground assault in the coming hours.

If the Syrian Army can successfully take control of the Al-‘Arab District, they will likely force the Islamist rebels to sue for peace because the latter cannot survive in this suburb without it.
