Moments ago, the Syrian Arab Army, backed by local militias, successfully captured the village of Nab’ Al-Sakhr (Spring Rock) in the Golan Heights (Al-Quneitra Province). Nab’ Al-Sakhr is located near the Al-Kina Forests in the Golan Heights; it was used as a launching point for Jabhat Al-Nusra attacks. According to a military source, dozens of Jabhat Al-Nusra soldiers were killed during this week long battle for this village.

Jabhat Al-Nusra is still under siege from the Syrian Arab Army’s 7th Divison near the Israeli border crossing; fierce clashes have been reported in its vicinity. Meanwhile, firefights continue all over the province; specifically, in the areas of Al-Samadanya and Majdouliya, where Jabhat Al-Nusra and Syrian Revolutionary Forces (SRF) are working together to halt the SAA advance.

According to the IDF Spokesman, the Syrian Arab Army has utilized armored tanks within 10km of the Israeli border crossing point; violating the truce between the two countries. Two days ago, the Israeli Army attacked SAA positions in Al-Quneitra, when IDF sources claimed that mortar shells landed in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

This is a Civilized Place for Public Discussion

Please treat this discussion with the same respect you would a public park. We, too, are a shared community resource — a place to share skills, knowledge and interests through ongoing conversation.

These are not hard and fast rules, merely guidelines to aid the human judgment of our community and keep this a clean and well-lighted place for civilized public discourse.

Make it better

Improve the Discussion

Help us make this a great place for discussion by always working to improve the discussion in some way, however small. If you are not sure your post adds to the conversation, think over what you want to say and try again later.

The topics discussed here matter to us, and we want you to act as if they matter to you, too. Be respectful of the topics and the people discussing them, even if you disagree with some of what is being said.

Now the hard part!

Be Agreeable, Even When You Disagree

You may wish to respond to something by disagreeing with it. That’s fine. But remember to criticize ideas, not people. Please avoid:

  • Name-calling
  • Ad hominem attacks
  • Responding to a post’s tone instead of its actual content
  • Knee-jerk contradiction

Instead, provide reasoned counter-arguments that improve the conversation.
