Looks like the strategy is to get into the centre and then attack the rear of the pre-prepared defensive lines.

According to the latest reports that map is already obsolete (the map makers can't keep up   )....the rat frontline seems to have been ruptured good and proper

#SAA captured Al Rihan with its farms east of Duma
#DamascusSteel

#SAA tanks are hunting the fleeing terrorists while they’re retreating to Duma.

So they have about half of the pocket already...

Meanwhile...

Mesraba is smack in the middle of the pocket...if it falls, it would open up the possibility for the SAA to cut what's left of the pocket in 2

Interesting observation. Turkey now has a very long border barrier, don't know if there is a road under the red line.

Jihadists & rebels still prevent civilians from exiting Ghouta, use these as human shield because they need civilians to exit all together from Ghouta... soon.
Curfew is imposed every morning on Ghouta by Jihadists to make sure no civilian exit the area.
