Baladi News - Quneitra
Opposition factions in the province of Quneitra have launched a new battle on Friday against Assad's forces, aiming to liberate the city of al-Baath (the center of Quneitra), and ease the pressure on Daraa countryside, which is subjected to a fierce military campaign by the regime's forces and the militias loyal to them.
Local activists reported the factions starting their military operations towards the al-Baath city, and some regime's sites in the surroundings, under a cover of artillery and missile shelling.
It should be noted that, for several weeks, the Syrian south is witnessing violent clashes between the regime forces backed by Russian air-force and Iranian, Lebanese, and Iraqi militias form one side, and the Free Syrian Army from the other side.
