As the sunset over the Syrian skies the civil unrest came to an end. Along the northern regions of the country Islamic Militants ruled the lands. The Syrian Arab Army was in a deadlock but able to keep them at away from major populated areas. However supply lines grew thin and the Militants began probing the lines for signs of weakness over the pass few months. Rocket Artillery was also staged at this makeshift borderline. The Rockets would fire endlessly throughout the daylight hitting any strategic points. Ammunition was also a luxury for the Syrian Arab Army. Moral was at an all time low. The next morning a loud explosion at a predominate checkpoint occurred. A vehicle strapped with explosives blew up inside the checkpoint killing many soldiers. The Islamic Militants fired RPGs at the checkpoint and PKM fire. The Militants quickly and decisively closed the distance and seized the Checkpoint. The government was put on high alert as officials rushed to bunkers in Damascus. Over the coming weeks the Militants seized more grounds deeper into Syria. The Syrian Arab Army was in full retreat as they scrambled to reform a defensive line and stop the Militants from reaching the capital. It wasn't long however till the lights of Damascus was in the sights of the Militants.
