The army soldiers captured Lesan al-Sakhar height and the strategic al-Zaba'a hill, and managed to impose control over a key road connecting Beir Tima to Kafr Hour towards Beit Jinn farms.

The road was one of the main supply lines of Al-Nusra in the region.

Relevant reports said on Friday that the Syrian Armed Forces resumed their offensive in the Beit Jinn pocket of the Golan Heights, scoring a new advance after a tough battle with the terrorists in the region.

The army’s 90th Brigade, backed up by Fouj Al-Joulan and Liwa Suqour Al-Sahra, attacked the tall hilltop of Tal Dhib’at, where they were confronted by a large force comprised of Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Al-Nusra Front.

Within hours of launching the attack, the army soldiers and their allies managed to capture Tal Dhib’at, forcing the terrorists to withdraw towards another part of the Beit Jinn Farms.

Since the militants refused to accept a reconciliation deal in this part of the Golan Heights, the Beit Jinn pocket remains absent from any de-escalation agreement.

As long as the so-called rebels refuse to end hostilities in this area, the Syrian army will continue their field operations until the former reconsiders their decision.
