The sources said that the army men waited for termination of daily ceasefire and carried out another nightly attack on terrorists' positions and drove the militants out of a number of points in Western and also Northern directions of Bachora air defense base, including several farms and workshops.

The army men further seized control over the 274th Regiment base (an Ordnance Base) West of Hawsh al-Zawaherah settlement and South of al-Shifouniyeh region, the sources said.

The sources further said that the army men have deployed near the town of Otaya and are advancing towards al-Shifouniyeh.

The sources added that the army men have cut off a main supply line of the terrorists connecting Otaya and Beit Sawa towards al-Shifouniyeh after their recent advances.

A military source said on Friday that the terrorists received a final OK from their foreign backers to carry out a false-flag chemical attack in Eastern Ghouta to later accuse the Syrian Army of using poisonous materials against militant-held areas.

The source said that the terrorist groups, including Ahrar al-Sham, Faylaq al-Rahman and Al-Nusra Front (Tahrir al-Sham Hay'at or the Levant Liberation Board) are preparing to launch a chemical attack on militant-held regions in Eastern Ghouta to later accuse the Syrian army.

The source further said that the terrorists have been ordered to use poisonous materials close to the contact line with the Syrian soldiers to pave the ground for the US, the UK and other western states to accuse the Syrian army of a chemical attack on people.
