Started with protests in Daraa in 2011, the Syrian conflict rapidly turned into a war with a number of foreign powers supporting various militant groups (including al-Qaeda-linked) against the government of Bashar al-Assad. Since then, the country has been a point of instability in the Middle East.
Russia began a military intervention in Syria in 2015 after an official request by the Syrian government for military help against militant groups.This allowed the Syrian government to survive and to regain initiative in a battle against Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of al-Qaeda), ISIS and other militant groups.
Many attempts to take Jobar have failed. Jobar has been reduced to rubble. There are no civilians in jobar. The rebels have held it using a network of tunnels. It’s impossible to occupy the ground without getting shot. Only dismantling the tunnels or turning the neighborhood into a napalm pond will remove the snipers.
It seems the SAA is trying to cut off the tunnels.
The US head-chopping, heart-eating rapers will slink off before and sleaze back afterwards. Sometimes superior firepower is not enough and the Syrians can’t afford the casualties to take the area house-by-house.
Now close off Jobar.
That southern highway line sure looks tempting way to do it.

IF there are no civilians in Jobar, why not reduce it to a napalm pond?

Yep, the non built up area along the HWY then blow the tunnels
