Syrian Army Continues to Pound Al-Nusra Positions in Eastern Damascus

The missile units targeted badly the Al-Nusra’s concentration centers in al-Qaboun district in the Northeastern outskirts of Damascus city.

The artillery units meantime targeted terrorists’ centers in Jobar district and Ein Terma region.

Local sources reported that fierce clashes are now underway between the army soldiers and terrorists in several fronts in al-Qaboun, while the army’s artillery units are targeting terrorists’ defense lines in the same district.

Also, sources in Southern Syria said that the army cut off terrorists’ supply route between the villages of al-Hamidiyeh and Jabata al-Khashab in Quneitra province.

They added that the terrorists deployed in the villages of al-Horiyeh and al-Hamidiyeh opened heavy machinegun fire at residential areas and army positions in the town of al-Ba’ath and in the vicinity of Khan Arnabeh town in Quneitra.

Reports said earlier today that the Syrian government forces continued to push deeper into the rebel-held district of Barzeh as militants rained the capital with mortar shells.

In the meantime, a Syrian military commander on the frontline said that a field commander of the Free Syrian Army fighting alongside Al-Nusra was captured alive after all his men were killed by the government troops.

The captured terrorist commander was found hiding in his outpost after being shelled by the Army’s artillery.
