Damascus

The Syrian Army and the National Defense Forces stormed checkpoints of al-Nusra Front and Ajnad al-Sham terrorist groups and won back one of their main supply lines in Western Ghouta.

The Syrian army troops, backed by the National Defense Forces, launched a powerful assault on the positions of Ajnad al-Sham and al-Nusra Front along a road linking the two strategic cities of al-Moadhamiyah and Darayya.

Following hours of heavy battle, the Syrian government forces imposed full control over the remaining checkpoints that were under the control of Ajnad al-Sham and al-Nusra Front; this forced the militant groups to retreat West towards al-Moadhamiyah's Southeastern district in order to evade capture by the government forces.

As a result of this successful military operation in Western Ghouta, the Ajnad al-Sham and Al-Nusra Front are officially cut-off at Darayya and al-Moadhamiyah, leaving them under a potential siege by the Syrian Armed Forces if they decide to obstruct all roads leading to these two cities in Damascus' Western part.
