| Dozens of Golan-300 rockets obliterate militant defenses as veteran brigade arrives in east Damascus |

| [ALMASDARNEWS] A veteran battle-group of the Syrian Arab Army has officially joined the powerful counter-offensive by government forces in the east Damascus district of Harasta. The formation announced its arrival via a crescendo of rocket fire delivered onto jihadist positions. The elite al-Ghaith Group of the Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division (itself a veteran formation) has officially joined the ongoing battle in east Damascus’ Harasta district after news of its assignment to this front surfaced several days ago. The first asset of the battle-group to make its presence felt was the formation’s unique Golan-300 multiple-launch heavy rocket systems. To this effect, many dozens of the rockets have been unleashed onto the positions of jihadist snuffies in what appears to be a round-the-clock saturation bombardment. A video of rocket bombardment is available at the end of this article. Nine days ago, al-Qaeda and Moslem Brüderbund affiliated gangs in east Damascus launched an offensive against Syrian forces in Harasta, isolating a key army base but failing to take it. Since then, the Syrian Army has moved major reinforcements into east Damascus and, over the last several days, has been in the midst of a counter-offensive aimed at retaking the entire district. |
