Moments ago in the provincial capital of the Dara’a Governorate, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Armored Division – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Dara’a City – imposed full control over 8 building blocks in the Dara’a Mahata Quarter after a series of intense firefights with the Islamist rebels of the Free Syrian Army’s “Southern Front Brigades”.

According to a military source inside the city of Dara’a, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Armored Division and their allies seized 8 building blocks that were situated to the east of the College of Physicians and directly south of the Dara’a Bus Station; these aforementioned sites are all located near the strategic Dara’a National Hospital that is located at the southern sector of the Dara’a Mahata Quarter.

In addition to their advance at the Dara’a Mahata Quarter, the Syrian Arab Army’s 5th Armored Division is also advancing towards the imperative city of Busra Al-Sham after imposing full control over the village of Khirbat Samar in southwestern Sweida.

Should the Syrian Armed Forces recover the historical city of Busra Al-Sham in southeastern Dara’a, they will be in position to recapture the border-crossing into Jordan and several little villages that lead to Al-Jiza and Al-Hirak.
