Damascus Countryside – The Syrian Arab Army regained control over Madyra town and a number of farms near Jisreen town as part of the ongoing military operations to eradicate Jabhat al-Nusra and its affiliated groups from the Eastern Ghouta in Damascus Countryside.
SANA said that army units operating in the central sector of Ghouta took full control of Madyra town after fierce battles with terrorist organizations and continued to advance, meeting army units stationed in the vicinity of the Vehicles Directorate in Harasta.
As a result of the elimination of terrorists in Madyra, army units have completely cut off supply routes and movement lines of terrorist organizations between the northern and southern parts of Ghouta, which should accelerate the defeat of terrorists in the area.
The military operations are currently concentrated on the farms of Jisreen and the village of Aftris in the southeastern sector of Ghouta, which contributes to the tightening the grip on the terrorist groups positioned in the area, in addition to restoring control over the majority of the farms in the vicinity of the town of Jisreen after defeating the terrorists and inflicting heavy losses upon them.
Army units also achieved new advances in chasing al-Nusra terrorists in the northern side of Aftris village amid massive collapse in their ranks as a result of the great progress of the army and the heavy losses the terrorists suffered during the recent battles, SANA added.
