Heavy Fighting Slows British Syrian Push
An official communique reports heavy fighting delaying British and Free French advances in Syria east and west of Damascus. French naval forces engaged a British squadron off the Lebanon coast near Beirut with no damage reported. French bombers attacked British naval units along the coast to ease pressure on retreating French troops and civilians from Sidon. French tanks and units penetrated British lines between Mount Hermon and the Jebel Druze, taking several positions, while a western counterattack near Sidon halted an Australian coastal advance. A third sector east of Damascus showed limited success. A Rio de Janeiro newspaper praised two American acrobats for their performance, likening it to a leopard.
