القوات النظامية تستعيد السيطرة على مدينة معلولا في ريف دمشق
Read this story in English
استعادت القوات النظامية اليوم الاثنين السيطرة على مدينة معلولا في ريف دمشق بعد اربعة اشهر من الانسحاب منها بعد دخول مقاتلي المعارضة المسلحة اليها في كانون الاول 2013، حسبما افاد مصدر امني وكالة فرانس برس.
وقال المصدر للوكالة "اعيد الامن والامان الى مدينة معلولا في سياق السيطرة على منطقة القلمون" الاستراتيجية شمال العاصمة، مضيفا ان "الارهاب انهار في القلمون".
واشار المصدر الى ان العملية "اسفرت عن مقتل عدد كبير من الارهابيين فيما فرت اعداد قليلة ستتم ملاحقتهم في البؤر التي لجأوا اليها".
واعتبر المصدر ان استعادة معلولا ومناطق اخرى في القلمون "ستؤدي الى احكام المزيد من السيطرة على المعابر الحدودية بشكل كامل".
وتقع بلدة معلولا على بعد 55 كلم شمال دمشق وغالبية سكانها من المسيحيين الذين يتكلمون الارامية لغة المسيح.
وشهدت بلدة معلولا المسيحية معارك بين القوات النظامية ومجموعات من المعارضة المسلحة في ايلول انتهت بسيطرة المقاتلين المعارضين، قبل ان تستعيد قوات النظام السيطرة عليها.
ثم انسحبت هذه القوات مجددا في كانون الاول ودخلها مقاتلون غالبيتهم اسلاميون احكموا السيطرة عليها.
وبدأت معركة القلمون في نهاية السنة الفائتة، وتمكن خلالها الجيش السوري من التقدم الى بلدات وقرى عديدة طاردا منها المجموعات المسلحة، بينما تسبب الهجوم بحركة نزوح واسعة معظمها الى لبنان المجاور.
وتشكل القلمون صلة وصل بين دمشق ومحافظة حمص في وسط البلاد، ويعتبر هذا الامتداد الجغرافي حيويا بالنسبة الى النظام، على صعيد الامدادات والسيطرة السياسية. كما ان سيطرة النظام على القلمون باكملها من شانها ان تحرم المعارضة في ريف دمشق من قاعدة خلفية مهمة.

before saying mabrouk Syria, I would advise these m8 thugs that this taking back of maaloula has no military meaning and soon it will fall again.
however, go check how many of hizbushaitan were killed first before congratulating each other :)
the stupidity of m8 thugs never stops to amaze me :)

Yeah mabroub until those driven out receive anti missiles and the game changes back and forth such as the Lebanese 30 year of war that you and your boyfriend FT have not learned from at which point this time they will massacre this poor town. The language you only understand is force therefore for every single action you will receive an opposite and equal reaction that will cost an entire nation the cost of your convoluted racist equation, otherwise you launch the mafia assisination war games on the political frontier if you can't win the battle by force.

since yabroud fell how many car bombs in lebanon?
who ended up being right? who did what it takes to defend this country? always the same, while all the others ever do is whine and stall.

mowaten: the question to be asked is " How many car bombs and lost Lebanese lives since HA involvement in Syria".

@Jaafar: Let it be known Any attack and I mean Any attack on samy(..) is considered a personal attack on ice-man and vice versa. Samy and I are bound by a brotherly treaty of mutual defense similar to the one that ties Lebanon and Syria. Samy is one of the most respected posters on this forum and I will not stand idle when I see you unjustifiably take jabs at him. Enough is Enough!

see what i mean? mowaten is here all day every day, posting absolutely nothing of substance. no opinions, no arguments, no factual input, nothing. only disruption attempts. how could he possibly be a genuine reader? he's probably the least dangerous (because he's so obvious and shallow) but there are many others who are certainly way above his pay grade.

SPEAK only when you feel that your words are better than your SILENCE, and that mowaten in Farsi means Zip it.

That's nice, but the reality is that Syria will never go back to what it was. The regime will never get it all back.

Now let its original inhabitant return. But there's one thing that this article omitted, a fact that some already know, that Syrian Christians are now engaged in fighting alongside Regime forces, so not all credits should go to the regime, but also for these brave people who have taken their courage with both hands and are fighting to return what is theirs. let our church bells ring high for Good Friday and Easter, Christ is risen, Maaloula is risen.

True but it's a team effort right? I mean without Assad help this wouldn't happen. Too bad Assad doesn't have love for Lebanese Christians.

This is why can't get along with some Syrians because they deny any crimes Assad has committed against Lebanese especially Christians. You know I support the Syrian Christians against their slaughter. However, I understand my LF friends point of view when they say where were the millions of strain Christians when we were getting slaughtered by Assad? I understand this point but am still thrilled Maaloula is free.

Yes Zahle, I agree, it is team work for sure, but I am also trilled to see Maaloula freed from the clutches of the Takfiris. In fact, there are now many Syrian Christian , militias wearing regular army attire that have formed and have decided NOT to sit and get slaughtered. NB: Here we are focusing purely on the Syrian context and I look forward to see TVs cover the masses of Good Friday and Easter in Maaloula, and in the original language of Christ (yetmajjad esmak ya Yesou3). May also the clerics be freed.

Phoenix my friend, don't listen to the takfiri bloodlusters. You are right that the Christian people of Maloula has the right to live without oppression. The christians of Syria are very close to the government and Resistance forces, because we are all targeted for extermination, all minorities are. I hope all Christians in Lebanon will take example of their brothers in Syria, let go off Geagea,Israel and USAs games. Move closer to Russia for instance. The west doesn't care about you Phoenix, all they see you as, are collateral damages.

what is soooo happy about this news? oh! of course, each time the syrian regime wins a battle M8ers have a hard on... so proud that this very same regime killed thousands of lebanese.... i bet they also had hard ons when the assad regime killed lebanese, as faithful collaborators they were and even thankful for it!
personnally i do not care... i only await the day this evil regime will be down, no matter how , as long as this regime that harmed thousands of lebanese gets the same fate as saddam hussein or moubarrak or khadaffi!
unlike M8ers traitors, i still think of the tortures killings kidnappings stealing this regime brought to lebanon... i do not suffer from alzheimer like those low traitors.....

I agree with that concept and agree with that point. It's not the real word though. Otherwise we all would be kahmeeyay.

Morpheus you can can put your 5alifah desires in the ashes, Maloula have every right to resist takfirism. These takfiris entered the ancient city just to massacre everyone inside.

Who here is smart enough to realize that, currently, there is no legitimate rebellion in Syria having its spirit, which existed for a short time, undermined and hijacked by religious extremists. Funny, these grieving Syrians did not complaint during Syria's 30-year hegemony over Lebanon. After exiting Lebanon, couples with the drought the Syrians were facing, did it really become a true rebellion?
