After four minutes, 25 Syrian tanks were destroyed and their attack disturbed.
The 7th Battalion began to move up the hill and saw the Syrian tanks.
Two Syrian tanks were knocked out, but the tanks behind him began to pull back.
The tank next to him hit a Syrian tank that came over the ramp.
Syrian tanks were moving forward, fifty to 1000 yards away.
