AhlulBayt News Agency - The Syrian Arab Army’s 4th Mechanized Division – backed by the National Defense Forces (NDF) and the pro-government Palestinian militia “Liwaa Al-Quds” (Al-Quds Brigade) – imposed full control over the Al-Shaher Neighborhood of the Handarat Refugee Camp after a violent battle with the extremist rebels tonight.
The Al-Shaher Neighborhood is located at the eastern sector of the Handarat Camp near the recently captured factories.
In addition to capturing the Al-Shaher Neighborhood, the Syrian Armed Forces are also pushing further west towards the heart of the camp, where the Free Syrian Army (FSA) and Jabhat Al-Nusra (Syrian Al-Qaeda group) are deeply entrenched inside several buildings.
Should the Syrian Armed Forces capture the Handarat Camp, they will be in position to obstruct the flow of traffic along the Castillo Highway; this means that the rebels will be unable to to resupply their fighters from the north.
