***Headlines***
Fierce clashes inflict 15 deaths on regime forces; FSA clears several buildings; heavy-artillery shelling causes two deaths and several injuries; dreadful humanitarian and living conditions
*** Recent developments on the ground***
15 soldiers were killed in the aftermath of an FSA operation in the vicinity of Liberty Square; two buildings and several houses were cleared as well. Fighters in Shuhada Al Islam Brigade managed to sneak into several houses and to set up an ambush for regime forces who were headquartered there; then they sneaked into two buildings, which they were the operation’s main target, and took control of ground floor besieging regime forces in the upper floors. Many regime fighters were killed during the operation, some of them were killed as they were trying to escape; light weaponry and supplies were taken as booty. Other regime fighters are still trapped in the buildings; tanks are trying to break the siege. Regime forces retaliated with heavy artillery shelling targeted nearby areas and set fire in a building. Two heroes were martyred today during the operation several others were slightly injured.
Meanwhile, a military deploy including tanks, armoured vehicles and troops headed towards the city. Helicopters flew over the city at high altitudes.
Fallen Heroes:
- Khalid Abou Nasser
- Abdou Abou Said
***Humanitarian situation***
The city is going through impossibly difficult humanitarian and living conditions amid a tight siege that has been in place since the start of the current campaign. The city is completely without potable water, electricity, flour and is running extremely low on medical supplies.
The displaced people of Daraya are also suffering horrific living conditions in the areas where they live amid high prices and severe shortages in supplies.
