A field source said, meantime, that the terrorists' movements from Idlib to the Southwestern regions of Aleppo province have stopped, adding that the army will possibly carry out a large-scale operation in this strategic region to lift the militant's siege on the towns of Fouaa and Kafraya in Northern Idlib to pave the ground for recapturing the lands South of the two towns as well as terrorists' positions in Western Aleppo.

 

Damascus

 

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said on Monday that the Syrian army foiled the plan of the newly-formed Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board) to attack the capital, Damascus.

 

SOHR reported that Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at that is mainly comprised of Al-Nusra Front, Ahrar al-Sham and Jeish al-Islam militants had gathered 5,000 militants to storm the army's checkpoints in Barzeh region in the Northeastern outskirts of Damascus city in Eastern Ghouta and then break through the government forces' positions in the capital city.

 

The SOHR report added that the army had been monitoring the terrorists' movements in the region and deployed its forces around Barzeh.

 

The army soldiers went on alert and started monitoring the entire streets in and the main road to Barzeh, SOHR added.

 

Other reports said the army started striking the militants' concentration centers and defused the terrorists' war plan.

 

Earlier reports said that the army soldiers continued to hit hard terrorists' defense lines in Eastern Ghouta and recaptured several more positions of the Al-Nusra after hours of non-stop clashes.

 

The army troops engaged in fierce clashes with terrorists near Harasta town Northeast of Damascus city and advanced against them in the gardens near Harasta, taking control over two positions of the terrorists.

 

In the meantime, the army men pushed the terrorists back from al-Wadi grand mosque and al-Nour driving school on the Western side of Harasta highway.

 

Local sources said that the army soldiers also drove terrorists out of the gardens in Tishrin district adjacent to al-Qaboun district.

 

Idlib

 

Media sources disclosed that a new wave of tensions has erupted between the newly-formed Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at (the Levant Liberation Board) and Ahrar al-Sham in Northern Idlib.

 

The Arabic language al-Ahd news website reported that the Al-Nusra Front (recently renamed to Fatah al-Sham Front) that forms the main part of Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at started to set up a command post near the Ahrar al-Sham' checkpoint in Bab al-Hawa square only 300 meters away from the main gate of Bab al-Hawa border crossing.

 

Al-Ahd added that Ahrar al-Sham, in response, reinvigorated its positions in the region to block any possible attack by Al-Nusra.

 

"Meantime, a commander of Tahrir al-Sham said that the Hay'at intends to conclude a new agreement with Ahrar al-Sham to grant the control of the Bab al-Hawa border passage to a third party, possibly Faylaq al-Sham," al-Ahd added.

 

In the meantime, Tahrir al-Sham took control of Ahrar al-Sham's checkpoints in the villages of al-Mastoumeh and Kafr Yamhoul in Southern Idlib.

 

Also, sources affiliated to the terrorist groups said that top commanders of Ahrar al-Sham have held a meeting to decide about their response to the recent attacks of Tahrir al-Sham Haya'at on their positions.
