Syrian rebels seize historic town in south: monitor

[European Knight]

Insurgents seized a historic town in southern Syria from the government on Wednesday, a group monitoring the war said, part of a rebel counter-attack to stop Damascus reclaiming the border zone near Israel and Jordan.

A Syrian military source reported heavy fighting with armed groups on Tuesday night in and around Bosra al-Sham, whose ancient city is listed as a UNESCO world heritage site. "We are investigating the facts in the field," the source said.

An alliance of mainstream rebels who are backed by Western and Arab foes of President Bashar al-Assad said they had taken Bosra and declared the start of a new attack against government

forces in another area of Deraa province to the northwest. Bosra's historic sites include a citadel built around a second century Roman amphitheatre. The area was the capital of the Roman province of Arabia.

After failing to surround rebels in Aleppo city now Assad forces lost a whole city. I think regime needs more Iranian support.

I wish good luck to Bashar Al-Assad.
