Syrian Army Attacks Militants In Daraa

Units of the Tiger Forces, the Syrian Arab Army and the National Defense Forces are developing their limited operation against militants in the province of Daraa.

On June 19, government forces attacked militants’ positions west of the government-held villages of Duweiri and Harran north east of the city of Daraa. However, no real progress was achieved in the area. Additionally, an SAA battle tank was damaged or even destroyed near the village of Musaykah on the same day, according to pro-militant sources. On June 20, government troops continued their advance and established control of the villages of Musaykah and al-Dallafa cutting off the militants’ supply line to the district of al-Lajat, north of the villages. This advance is a first step en route to fully divide the miltiant-held area northeast of Daraa into two separate parts. The operation is ongoing.

On June 19, units of government forces attacked positions of militant groups near the village of Buser al-Harir northeast of the southern Syrian city of Daraa.

Sporadic clashes in the area continued on June 20 but no major advance was carried out by the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and its allies. Pro-government sources described this development as a trial balloon ahead of possible advance in the area. If the SAA establishes control of Duweiri al-Harran and Melihit al-Atash, it will encircle a number of militant held villages south of these two points creating a “cauldron”, which would be cut off from the rest of the militant-held area. Meanwhile, military equipment, including artillery and battle tanks, of the Syrian military continued to enter the province of Daraa.
