The 6-day long battles in the northeastern flanks of Damascus have subsided with the Syrian army fully recapturing all points lost to the rebel groups.

Today, the Syrian Army restored the Fabric Factory, Sadcop building along with the nearby blocks after intense clashes with the rebels.

Last Sunday, a coalition of rebel groups, including Falyaq al-Rahaman and Ahrar al-Sham and spearheaded by Jabhet al-Nusra, launched a strong surprise attack using two VBIEDs on Army positions inside the Jobar District near the Al-Qaboun front.

A field reporter embedded with the government forces stated that Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhet al-Nusra) withdrew its fighters from the battleground yesterday evening.

The report said such withdrawal might be done due to the serious casualties among the group.
