Damascus: Syrian Army Blasts Several Terrorists’ Tunnels, Bunkers in Al-Qaboun District

The 42nd Brigade of the army carried out a successful operation to seal the Eastern corridor of al-Qaboun and the 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard took the initiative along the Southeastern part of the district, targeting a chain of tunnels and trenches built by Faylaq al-Rahman terrorists.

The Syrian pro-government forces managed to destroy at least two tunnels and several trenches in Southeastern al-Qaboun on Thursday evening, killing at least 5 Faylaq al-Rahman militants, including one of their field commanders.

Faylaq al-Rahman has recently won control over the positions of Tahrir al-Sham Hay’at (the Levant Liberation Board) inside al-Qaboun, as the latter group willingly gave-up the area to their militant allies.

In relevant developments in the province on Thursday, the Syrian army restarted military operations near the capital after the Takfiri terrorists launched missile and mortar attacks against their positions in Eastern Damascus.

While terrorists in al-Qaboun district of Eastern Damascus had announced their decision to leave the region, and the army had suspended its operations, the militants attacked the army positions which resulted in the Syrian soldiers’ resumption of operations near Taqwa mosque in al-Qaboun and regained full control over all blocks in the region.
