Syrian troops retake Sayyida Zainab neighborhood from foreign-backed terrorists

Syrian troops have regained control of most parts of the Damascus neighborhood of Sayyida Zainab after government forces launched an all-out offensive against the foreign-backed armed terrorists in the capital, Press TV reports.

Troops on Friday recaptured the key southern neighborhood of al-Midan during an operation aimed at clearing the city of the rebels.

Security sources say the army is now also in control of Tadamon, Qaboon and Barzeh neighborhoods.
