BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:45 P.M.) - At approximately 5:45 P.M. (Damascus Time, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) kicked off their long-awaited operation in the East Ghouta town of Douma, following the collapse of peace talks with Jaysh Al-Islam.
Led by their Republican Guard forces (104th, 105th, 106th brigades), the Syrian Army stormed the Douma Orchards from all axes, scoring a big advance from the western flank.
According to an Al-Masdar field correspondent, the Syrian Army was able to make this big advance after SyAAF and Russian jets heavily bombarded Jaysh Al-Islam's positions in the area.
The Syrian Army's Republican Guard forces are now attempting to capture the remaining parts of the Douma Orchards that are under the control of Jaysh Al-Islam.
