SAA cut supply lines: militants crash near Damascus

4
After the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) soldiers liberated Mdeira from the terrorists (East Ghouta district, Damascus province), they managed to reach the strategically important city of Harast. There was a meeting between them and the garrison, which had previously been blocked by the "opposition".





Thus, the East Guta enclave was divided into two zones - northern and southern. The supply line used by militants in the city of Duma has now been blocked. The gangs "shine" unenviable fate: "cook" in two boilers. If Harast can be cut off from the Duma, there will even be three boilers. According to Lebanese television channel Al-Manar, to date, the Syrian army has managed to free 54% of the territory of East Ghouta.

The advancement of the SAA has created an opportunity for civilians, whom the militants have been using as a human shield for a long time, to enter a safe place through the humanitarian corridors of Jisrein - Mleha and Al-Wafidin. The Syrian army is acting according to an agreement on humanitarian pauses. They are installed daily from 9 to 14 hours local time (that is, from 10 to 15 Moscow time). Of course, this reduces the pace of offensive operations, but increases the chances that it will be possible to save the lives of women and children - those who hide behind terrorists and whose suffering the Western speculate policy. Meanwhile, on March 10, while trying to exit the humanitarian corridor Mleh - Jisrein, militants shot and killed a woman and three children.

One of the positive results of the success of the Syrian Arab army in Eastern Ghout was the fact that on the night of March 11, a large organized exit of civilians took place through a humanitarian corridor. According to the representative of the Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties, Major General Viktor Zolotukhin, 52 people left the war zone, including 26 children. They were sent to the city of Adra, where they will be provided with all the necessary medical care.

Anticipating the imminent release and wanting to bring it closer, the residents of some settlements dare to stage demonstrations against terrorists. Such actions took place in the settlements of Sakba and Hamuria on March 11. Their participants demanded that the militants leave the territory they held.

The head of the Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties, Yuri Yevtushenko, announced another similar action:

The protest activity of the population of East Guta is intensifying. So, today in the village of Kafer Batna, a rally of local residents was held, which put forward to the militants in the village a demand for an immediate exit from it


Another danger for civilians is that enmity began between various terrorist groups in the area. According to Major General Vladimir Zolotukhin, there is a disengagement of organizations such as Feylak Ar-Rahman and Jebhat al-Nusra (banned in the Russian Federation). There are open battles in the streets between them, and civilians are forced to seek cover so as not to be killed during these conflicts.

In addition, the terrorists, defeated at the hands of the SAA, continue to avenge the civilians of Damascus and its suburbs, controlled by the Syrian authorities. Mortar shelling by militants continues. On March 11, a shell hit the minibus, which was driving through the city of Jaraman. Four people were killed, six were injured. A day earlier, as a result of shelling of Homsi Street in Jaraman, a child died and four were injured. There are also wounded in the metropolitan areas of Al-Kamaria and Barzah.

    Meanwhile, the Syrian army has made serious progress in the last couple of hours: the cities of Duma and Harast are surrounded. Thus, three boilers are created.

    The fact that the terrorists in the boilers, it pleases. Now they have nowhere to go. Russia needs to help Syria to free the country from foreign troops such as NATO.

    Crash is when they are raked and buried in a pit with a bulldozer. In the meantime, they live and get money from sponsors, and even planes get shot down.
