Syrian Army retakes Damascus neighborhood

Syrian army forces have taken control of the al-Qaboun neighborhood of the capital Damascus and cleared the area of foreign-backed terrorists.

An unspecific number of terrorists have lost their lives killed in the mop-up operation in the industrial area, east of the capital.

Syrian army units also have gained more ground in Damascus suburbs by advancing further in Deir Salman in Eastern al-Ghouta.

Deadly fighting has also been reported near the Damascus-Homs road.

Reports coming out of Syria suggest government forces are pushing ahead with their mop-up operations against the terrorists across the country.

The army has recently conducted successful clean-up operations in the country, inflicting heavy losses on Takfiri extremists.

The foreign-sponsored militancy in Syria has taken its toll on the lives of many people, including large numbers of Syrian soldiers and security personnel, since March 2011.

Western powers and their regional allies including the Israeli regime, Turkey, Saudi Arabia and Qatar are supporting the anti-Syria militant groups, including al-Qaeda-linked terrorists, to overthrow the Syrian government.

In an interview with Syrian daily Al-Thawra published on July 4, Syrian President Bashar al-Assad said the opposition and their foreign supporters have “exhausted all their tools” in a conspiracy against Syria.
