Syria rebels inflicted heavy blows to Assad forces near their base in Qalamoun and the Ra’s al-Ma’re area near Damascus, Orient TV reported.
Two bases of Assad forces and Hezbollah forces were forced back from this area, leaving many of their colleagues dead. Syria rebels were also able to destroy many of their military equipment.
Reports from Syria indicate clashes around Damascus have escalated to a new height in the past few days. Widespread blazes have erupted all around Damascus International Airport and fire trucks were seen desperately trying to put out the fire.
