On Sunday afternoon in the Greater Damascus area, the Syrian Al-Qaeda group “Jabhat Al-Nusra” and their allies launched a large-scale attack on the Syrian Arab Army’s defenses at the town of Harasta after failing to recapture the Marj Al-Sultan Military Airport.
However, once again, Jabhat Al-Nusra failed to advance, despite surprising the Syrian Arab Army with a powerful assault near the Homs-Damascus Highway.
Following Jabhat Al-Nusra’s subsequent retreat, the Syrian Arab Army’s 105th Brigade of the Republican Guard unearthed a massive tunnel that was used by the rebel fighters to launch their assault.
According to an Al-Masdar field correspondent in Damascus, the rebel tunnel was 200 meters long, 15 meters deep and 2 meters high; it was also reportedly used as an operations room for Jabhat Al-Nusra.
