Israeli-backed terrorists reverse all Syrian Army advances in West Ghouta
2017-10-21
[ALMASDARNEWS] Al-Qaeda-linked holy warriors have repelled a major offensive push by Syrian pro-government forces in the countryside of West Ghouta following a recent breakthrough by the latter.

Two days ago, the Syrian pro-government forces scored a major operational victory against al-Qaeda-linked hard boyz of the Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham jihadist group near the strategic town of Beit Jinn in western Rif Dimashq (Damascus) province, capturing the key hilltop of Tal Bard’ayyah.

However,
it's easy to be generous with someone else's money...
within 24 hours, jihadist holy warriors near Beit Jinn re-grouped and launched a powerful counter-attack employing anti-tank guided missiles and receiving air support from Israeli warplanes.

After heavy festivities, Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham managed to drive Syrian forces from Tal Bard’ayyah, effectively reversing all army gains in the region.

Having been so firmly rebuffed and after having endured significant losses in armor, it remains unclear if Syrian pro-government forces will attempt another push on Tal Bard’ayyah which is key to liberating Beit Jinn.
