BEIRUT, LEBANON (2:25 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army’s elite 42nd Brigade of the 4th Mechanized Division has been redeployed to the Wadi Barada area of rural Damascus after a short stint in the Golan Heights.
The 42nd Brigade has been involved in several important battles in the past, including the capture of Yabroud in the Qalamoun Mountains, Darayya, and Khan Al-Sheih.
Unlike the other Syrian Arab Army units involved in this offensive at Wadi Barada, the 42nd Brigade is under the direct command of General Maher Al-Assad and his appointed officers.
With their impressive track record in battle and technologically advanced weaponry, the 42nd Brigade will be leading the charge to expel the remaining jihadist rebels from the Wadi Barada area.

BEIRUT, LEBANON (6:10 P.M.) – Minutes ago, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) managed to break-through Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham’s (formerly Al-Nusra Front) front-line defenses at the northern flank of Bassima, capturing all of the hills overlooking this village in the Barada Valley of rural Damascus.
Led by the 4th Mechanized Division and Qalamoun Shield, the Syrian Arab Army stormed the northern flank of Bassima earlier today, killing several militants from Jabhat Fateh Al-Sham and Harakat Ahrar Al-Sham.
Intense clashes would continue north of Bassima for much of day, as the Syrian Arab Army attempted to enter the well-fortified village.
According to some local activists in Wadi Barada, a temporary ceasefire deal has been reached between the Syrian Arab Army’s High Command and jihadist rebels; however, this cannot be confirmed at the moment.
