BEIRUT, LEBANON (3:50 A.M.) – The Islamist rebels of Jaysh Al-Islam launched a massive counter-offensive in the East Ghouta region of Damascus on Wednesday night, targeting the farms they recently lost between the towns of Hawsh Al-Dawahra and Al-Shifouniyah.
Jaysh Al-Islam began the assault by sending wave-after-wave of militants towards the Syrain Arab Army’s defenses in order to exhaust the latter’s soldiers.
While no gains were reported by either side yet, the Islamist rebels did manage to kill one Syrian Arab Army soldier, a military source told Al-Masdar on Wednesday evening.
The Islamist rebels will need to recapture these farms from the Syrian Arab Army in the coming days, or else they will find themselves under a heavy attack at Al-Shifouniyah.
