From Akram:  "In a previous post, 
I mentioned the efforts of the FSA gangs to destroy the Syrian air defense 
capabilities. The last week witnessed another chapter of this devastating story 
when the Free Syrian Army gangs announced destroying the radar station in 
Marj al-Soultan (East Ghouta).  The radar station 
mentioned by the FSA is more than a simple radar. It's actually, a major aerial 
reconnaissance station and is one of three major aerial reconnaissance stations 
covering the Syrian territory and compose the backbone of the country's air 
defense system. Its main mission was tracking the warplanes taking off from the 
Israeli air bases and updating the Syrian air defense battalions with its 
instantaneous location. With this operation, Syria became 
totally blind against any potential Israeli air attack. More on this 
story can be read here (Arabic)"
