The Syrian army on Friday announced it had restored, with the help of allied forces, all points that terrorists infiltrated to in the northern part of Jobar neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of Damascus and continued operations against terrorist organizations in various areas all over the country.
The forces eliminated the last posts of al-Nusra front and other Takfiri groups affiliated to it in the Factories area in northern part of Jobar neighborhood on the eastern outskirts of Damascus.
SANA reporter said that army units restored all the points that terrorists infiltrated to in the area separating between Jobar and al-Qaboun neighborhoods and in the textile and spinning factories after launching intensive military operations, inflicting heavy losses upon terrorists.
Over 157 terrorists have been killed over the past three days as a result of the military operations in northern Jobar, while 25 of their vehicles were destroyed, including 3 car bombs.
