The leaders of Free Syrian Army announced to the public that they will be moving into Syria from Turkey.
The head leader said that they would be moving in to areas in Syria that the rebels seized during the fighting. This leadership movement is a huge strategic advantage to the Free Syrian Army because when they were based in Turkey it was hard to coordinate with rebel brigades across Syria and made communication not as strong. After they move into these safe areas their first plan is to start planning on how to liberate Damascus. Recent fighting in Aleppo and Damascus proves that the regime can't fully secure those two critical cities. According to Jeffrey White, a defense analyst at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the Free Syrian Army has grown in the past months and have been getting more organized. This improvement means that the rebels have a better chance of challenging the strong government regime.
