Syrian rebels launch second Damascus attack in three days.

Syrian rebels stormed a government-held area in northeastern Damascus on Tuesday for the second time in three days, sources on both sides said, pressing the boldest assault on the capital by opposition fighters in several years. The rebel groups have launched the assault from their Eastern Ghouta stronghold to the east of the capital. Wael Alwan, the spokesman of rebel group Failaq al Rahman, told Reuters: “We launched the new offensive and we restored all the points we withdrew from on Monday”.
