On Wednesday, the Syrian government’s forces started a military operation to free the Jobar and Harasta subrubs of Damscus.
Jobar is one of the main strongholds of terrorists at Damascus. It has been a battleground for over two years.
Most of the militants operating there are members of Ahrar ash-Sham. This group has been constantly shelling the Syrian capital. Hundreds of civilians have been killed by militants.
