Jabhat Al-Nusra launched a counter-offensive in the besieged village of Sheikh Miskeen last night, recapturing much of the East District lost to the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Division earlier this week. The militants from Jabhat Al-Nusra were able to fight their way to the imperative Sheikh Miskeen-Al-Sanimeen Road, where they were later repelled by the 5th Division and forced to retreat west. At 5 A.M., Jabhat Al-Nusra had controlled most of Sheikh Miskeen after their reinforcements poured in from neighboring villages.

Following the Jabhat Al-Nusra’s attack, the 5th Division launched their own counter-offensive at Sheikh Miskeen, killing scores of Jabhat Al-Nusra militants and fighting their way up to the village cemetery. According to a military source, Jabhat Al-Nusra was unable to retake the whole village of Sheikh Miskeen last night and the SAA’s counter-offensive has forced many Nusra fighters to retreat from the east in order to avoid SAA machine gunfire. The source added that fighting is still ongoing in Sheikh Miskeen and will continue throughout the day.

Casualties have been high for both sides in this fight, as more combantants continue to enter the battlefield at Sheikh Miskeen. According to a military source with the National Defense Forces (NDF), Jabhat Al-Nusra has suffered at least 80 casualties in this battle, while the SAA and NDF have lost 39 soldiers altogether.
The identified militants killed from Jabhat Al-Nusra in Sheikh Miskeen are the following:
