The battle for Damascus is more intense and grimmer than ever.
Syrian jets have begun bombing parts of the city, as rebel forces over run the army's defensive works.
Rebel forces have begun encircling the heart of the city, where key government buildings are fortified against their approach.
Abbaside Square, once a proud football stadium, then a barracks for the military, is now a battlefield to keep the rebels from gaining one more way into Damascus.
Thursday's shelling was the heaviest anyone, in Damascus, had ever heard.
If Damascus does fall, it is unclear if the regime will be able to continue, in any realistic way, shape, or form.
