(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian rebels on Sunday have thwarted Sunday a regime army attack on the western neighborhoods of Daraya town south of the capital, local media center said.
For over a weeks, Syrian Republican Guards and notorious Division 4 have intensified siege on Moadamiya town and Daraya as rebels refuse to surrender or to evacuate the town in similar scenario to fellow fighters in Homs and Zabadani.
Also, regime warplanes have extended its aerial campaign on Moadamiya and Daraya, dropping at least tens of barrel bombs and conducting limited incursion on the enclaves of the towns, activists said.
The Assad army has locked the main crossing of Moadamiya with the capital week ago and its bulldozers set up shields and barrier between the town and nearby Daraya and Damascus.
No one is allowed to get out just some government employees on condition not coming back home, according to activists.
More than 250,000 people have been killed since Syria’s revolution erupted in March 2011, and millions more have fled their homes.
