Syrian Army captures Air Battalion Base in West Ghouta

Syrian Arab Army divisions seized the Air Battalion Base outside the key town of Deir Khabiyeh in the West Ghouta region.

Led by the prestigious 42nd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division, the Syrian Arab Army captured the Air Battalion Base and its nearby checkpoints after advancing at Deir Khabiyeh’s western flank.

As a result of this advance, the Syrian Armed Forces are now at the western and southern entrances of Deir Khabiyeh, leaving the town partially flanked.

With reinforcements from nearby Khan Al-Sheih as their only hope, Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham (formerly Al-Nusra Front) and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham will attempt to forestall the Syrian Army’s advance before they enter Deir Khabiyeh.
