PROVINCES,(ST)_The Syrian Arab Army’s units have clashed  with terrorist groups in several provinces and kill many of them.

“The gunmen are looting homes , public and private establishments amid chaos spread in the city (Raqqa),” the paper quoted activists as saying. 

Repeatedly, the Syrian Arab army stressed that it won’t enter al-Yarmouk camp (in which Palestinian refugees were living before the terrorist groups forced most of them to flee from their homes) and would leave the Palestinian groups to deal with the matter.

Yesterday, the Palestinian Forces Coalition declared “The current situation in the camp (al-Yarmouk) is complicated and efforts exerted over the past period ended in a stalemate.”
