File talk:Zablatani tower.jpg

Was watching the latest ANNA news output and found myself challenged to locate that view, as it looked reasonably easy to do. ;o)

The tower is quite close to the Damascus center already, and it's an excellent spot with view over the whole city. Jobar is still the center of fighting and it seems the Hafez Al Assad highway/"southern bypass", running roughly parallel to those market halls in the lower right corner of the pic and maybe coming "in sight" at the horizon to the right, still separates battle zone to the west of it and inhabited zone (i.e. Zamalka) to the east of it. Couldn't find proof of Zamalka being still inhabited, though. Just some remarks that they are taking care to keep Jobar and Zamalka cut-off by operations on the highway. --CE (talk) 17:08, 14 September 2013 (UTC)
