The battle of Damascus has officially started today.
Last week the Free Syrian Army stated that it was ready to intensify its operations in Damascus. But that didn't spark the current situation as the FSA has been till then only defending the areas it was present in when regime thugs raided the areas or carried out other attacks. What has sparked the current confrontations between the FSA and regime thugs (Asad army and security thugs) is the attack that was carried out yesterday and the day before on the Palestinian refugee camp, Al Tadamon, martyring Palestinians and Syrians in the area.
Enraged by the act and the subsequent comments made by the foreign ministry spokesman, Jihad Makdesi (an idiot who said that Palestinians are guests in Syria and that they have behaved wrongly) protests have erupted in Damascus in support of Tadamon and other areas and cities being bombarded and attacked by the regime.
Predictably, the regime decided to deal with this upscale by the people of Damascus with an iron fist only to be confronted by the FSA, whom as previously stated have increased its presence in Damascus and its suburbs. A leaked document from Asad's Army General Command has given all security branches the right to use recently purchased weapons and armored vehicles where each branch sees fit to crush any protest they see. Document on the right in Arabic.
Clashes between the FSA and Asad thugs are reported in Qadam, Midan, AlQazaz, Nahr Aisheh, Sina'a, Dahadel Sayeda Zainab, Al Zahera, Yilda (Damascus Suburbs); whereas protests have erupted today in Midan, Rukn Eldeen, Baghdad Street, Aqraba, Kafr Souseh, Qoudsiya and many areas where protesters have blocked roads most importantly international road to Jordan (Deraa Highway). Images and videos below are from Damascus today, which show different areas where fitting between the FSA and Asads thugs are taking place.
