| 2016-01-09 |
| [EN.ZAMANALWSL.NET] Syrian rebels thwarted Thursday an incursion attempt by Syria regime forces into al-Manshiya neighborhood in the southern Daraa city, Revolution Local Committees said. Rebels were able to push army troops back despite the surprise ground and aerial attack that started early Thursday along with heavy artillery on al-Manshiya. In the northern frontline of Sheikh Miskeen town, rebels launched 'Ahl al-Nakhwa' battle on Wednesday, pressing slow advances. Bashir al-Assad's forces backed by fighters from Leb's Hezbollah movement have launched major offensive two weeks ago, seeking to control Sheikh Miskeen and powerful air base, Brigade 82. Rebel groups, including Al-Qaeda affiliate Al-Nusra Front, had been in control of Sheikh Miskeen and Brigade 82 since last year. |
