BEIRUT, Dhu-AlQa'dah 22, 1434, Sep 28, 2013, SPA -- Rebel fighters took control of a military post on Syria's southern border with Jordan on Saturday after four days of heavy fighting with President Bashar al-Assad's forces, activists said, according to Reuters. The former customs post on the edge of the city of Deraa, where Syria's uprising against Assad erupted in 2011, was seized by several groups , according to the reports. A video from the site showed a masked fighter claiming victory in the name of the two movements, and a captured tank. Rebels also seized a fuel depot north of Damascus, the Syrian Observatory for Human Right said, while state media said Assad's forces made gains in rebel areas of east Damascus. The fighting across Syria highlights the relentless nature of its civil war, as battles with conventional weapons rage on regardless of steps to destroy Syria's chemical arms - the result of a rare outbreak of international consensus on Syria. -- SPA 20:36 LOCAL TIME 17:36 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1151802
