17 March 2013
Headlines: 125 days of shelling, siege and destruction; cautious calm interrupted by intermittent clashes on most fronts; FSA raids regime’s points; two martyrs and a number of injuries; horrible medical and humanitarian situation
*** Recent developments***
Day 125 of the military campaign against Daraya concluded with a withdrawal of the military reinforcements that entered the city in the morning including tanks, BMP vehicles, and a number of troop-carriers. Intermittent clashes were fought in Aljmaiaat area where several combing operations were carried out by the FSA. Other fronts also witnessed intermittent clashes, sniping operations, as well as attacks on locations of Assad’s forces using available resources.
The southern area has been under violent shelling for more than 2 hours after FSA fighters started a raiding and storming operation on a number of Assad’s points which resulted in dozens of casualties in their ranks. Ambulances have been running frantically carrying bodies and injured fighters. The operation is still underway and news is still coming in revealing great success and heavy losses for the Assad forces.
Two heroes lost their lives today.
Muhannad Abu Mahmoud, died while defending his homeland and honour
