According to local field reports, the Qalamoun Shield Forces, backed by the 87th Brigade of the 11th Tank Division, reportedly cleared a path to the terrorists-controlled villages of Al Zughbah and Al Janinah after an intense battle with Jund Al Aqsa (Syrian Al Qaeda Branch) and Jund Al Sham (Chechen terrorists).
The Qalamoun Shield is a large force that is part of the Syrian 3rd Armored Division; they typically operate in the western countryside of Damascus.
