Place of Origin of Rebel Group[edit]

The ambush was set up in the town of al-Otaiba in Eastern Ghouta that led to the death of over 175 militants from Jabhat al-Nusra and the Islam Battalion, who were trying to sneak in from Jordan. The confusion I am having is where these rebels were coming from ... If they were attacked in Ghouta and they were headed to Daara (South of Damascus) or Qalamoun mountains (West of Damascus) then how can they have been trying to sneak in from Jordan?

The rebels control a supply line from eastern Daraa province then the supply line moves btw Daraa and suwaydaa,then it goes all the way to the ghouta area,gov forces find it impossible to clear that supply line so ,they manage to cut it by seizing otaybah ,there also the adra supply line to connects to rebel forces in qalamoun.Alhanuty (talk) 02:06, 27 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"See Also"[edit]

I removed the link to the Ghouta chemical attack because it's irrelevant to this article. It may have happen in the same area but was months ago and has nothing to do with the ambush. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 113.173.125.147 (talk) 15:47, 6 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
