On October 28, the Syrian army and the National Defense Forces (NDF) conducted a successful military operation in the Western Ghouta region and splited the militant-controlled area into two separate parts.
As result of this ooperation the government forces encircled the strategic town of Khan al-Shih controlled by Jabhat Fatah al-Sham (al-Qaeda) and its allies. This town will likely become the main target of the ongoing military operation by government forces.
Then, the army and the NDF will turn into the direction of Zakiyah.
