Syrian Army captures rebel HQ in east Damascus amid latest advance


The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) resumed their offensive operations in the eastern suburbs of Damascus on Saturday, targeting the Free Syrian Army's (FSA) headquarters in Al-Qaboun.

Led by the 42nd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division, the Syrian Arab Army infiltrated the jihadist defenses in Al-Qaboun and seized the FSA's headquarters on Saturday morning.

According to Al-Masdar's Majd Fahd, the Syrian Arab Army captured the 1st Brigade headquarters of the Free Syrian Army, along with its corresponding Shari'ah Courts inside of Al-Qaboun.

Fahd also added that the Syrian Arab Army destroyed a network of tunnels that were used to transport supplies from the East Ghouta (specifically Jobar) to Al-Qaboun.

The Syrian Arab Army is now engaged in fierce combat along Al-Hafez Street in the Barzeh suburb, as they continue to advance against the jihadist rebels of Hay'at Tahrir Al-Sham.
