After Ghouta, Syria army eyes rebels in Daraa, on Israel’s border
2018-04-16
[IsraelTimes] Regime forces expected to target area that was the cradle of uprising and a stronghold for Western-backed non-jihadist rebels.

The capture of Eastern Ghouta is a significant milestone for Syria’s regime and paves the way for government troops to shift south to where the seven-year uprising first began: Daraa, the province that touches Israel’s border.

#2  Assad's SAA will have to eventually fight the FSA/Kurds in the North. Emphasis on the word eventually. Before then there are the pockets of resistance around Damascus and the Daraa corner. The Turks and their proxies will continue to pressure the Kurds in North in the mean time occupying both.

#1  The SAA will have to fight the FSA under US and Jordanian protection. Last several times Syria/Iran tried this, they beat feet when the US Air Force objected.
