BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:00 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) launched an important military operation in the East Ghouta region of Damascus last night, targeting the town of Beit Nayem that is under the control of Jaysh Al-Islam.
Led by the 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard, the Syrian Arab Army stormed Beit Nayem from its southern perimeter, capturing at least four points from the Jaysh Al-Islam militants defending the town.
According to Al-Masdar’s Damascus field correspondent, Ibrahim Joudeh, the Syrian Arab Army entered Beit Nayem from its southern axis this afternoon, following a long battle with Jaysh Al-Islam that resulted in the death of at least 7 militants.
If the Syrian Arab Army can take control of Beit Nayem in the coming days, they will be in position to strike the important town of Autaya, which is located north of this area in the East Ghouta.
