Daraa: rebels thwart regime attack on Old City

(Zaman Al Wasl)- Fierce clashes took place Thursday in southern Daraa city as regime forces and allied militias press to capture a ground, local activists said.

Rebels have thwarted the regime attack on al-Manshiya neighborhood in the Old City of Daraa, leaving number of regime troopers dead, according to activists.

Rebels have also targeted regime checkpoints in Tal al-Khedher north of Ataman town.

Last Friday, Regime forces and Hezbollah fighters seized control of Ataman town, a day after dozens of Russian airstrikes targeted the area.

Meanwhile, residents have expressed their fears of rebels collapse in Daraa, which lies south of Damascus and near the Jordanian border.

Field commanders said their main concern to unite and avoid discords to resist  regime's fiercest attack since revolution erupted in March 2011.

Since Russia's intervention on its side in September, Damascus and its allies have pressed assaults throughout the west of the country, including Aleppo in the north, the coastal province Latakia and in Daraa.
