On Friday afternoon in the West Ghouta (collection of farms) of rural Damascus, the Syrian Arab Army’s 68th Brigade – in coordination with the National Defense Forces (NDF) of Qatana – conducted a special military operation to cutoff the Islamists main supply route to the strategic city of Khan Al-Sheih from the latter’s last border-crossing into Lebanon. This special military operation proved successful for the Syrian Armed Forces, as they successfully cutoff part of the Damascus-Quneitra Highway that connects with a number of seasonal roads, which ultimately leads to the Lebanese border at Jaroud Qarah; this aforementioned border-crossing is shared by the Islamist rebels and the Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS).
