(MENAFN) The Syrian Army troops have thus far purged more than eighty percent of Eastern Ghouta of terrorists, military sources said to Fars News on Monday.
The sources said that the army men, deployed in Saqba settlement in the depth of Eastern Ghouta, managed to advance against terrorists in the Northern and Eastern parts of Eastern Ghouta, imposing control over more regions near Kafr Batna region.
The sources further said that the terrorists retreated towards Zmelka and Hazeh settlements under the army attack.
They further said that 83% of Eastern Ghouta is now under the army's control after the recent advances.
Eastern Ghouta, which is home to some 400,000 people, has witnessed deadly violence over the past few days, with foreign-sponsored terrorists launching mortar attacks on the Syrian capital in the face of an imminent humiliating defeat.
