Jaysh Al-Islam’s (Army of Islam) two week long offensive at the city of Harasta in the Rif Dimashq Governorate ended abruptly on Saturday, as the Islamist fighters sustained heavy casualties amid a fracture in their frontline positions that left them in complete disarray.

On Saturday morning, the Syrian Arab Army’s 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) – continued their counter-assault inside Harasta, targeting Jaysh Al-Islam’s forces at the 5th District, Al-‘Ajmi District, and the Harasta Roundabout.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Armed Forces killed 10 enemy combatants on Saturday; they were identified as the following:

  1. Isma’eel Ramadan
  2. ‘Umar ‘Arbash
  3. ‘Aamer Salaam

  6. Hatim Shehaab
  7. Sa’eed Al-Dilaati
  8. Kamaal Taraabishi

  1. Nour Kawkah
  2. Mohammad Al-Tayar
  3. Hassan Arafat
