The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and the National Defense Forces (NDF) are attempting to separate Jobar and Zamalka areas in eastern Damascus countryside.
They have advanced along the M5 highway and claimed capturing some buildings in the process. Clashes have also continued in Ayn Tarma.
Faylaq Al-Rahman and Hayat Tahrir al-Sham are two militant groups opposing the SAA and the NDF in the area.
