Jeish Al-Islam Terrorists Continue Attacks on Syrian Army Despite UN Ceasefire

The Syrian Army's artillery units, tipped off by intelligence agents, destroyed a bomb-laden vehicle of Jeish Al-Islam (Army of Islam) terrorists in Eastern Ghouta before it could manage an attack on government forces' positions near Damascus city.

The artillery and missile units, deployed in Jobar region in Eastern Ghouta, opened heavy fire at a bomb-laden suicide vehicle of terrorist groups and destroyed its before the vehicles could manage to drive towards Damascus city.

The terrorists' suicide vehicle was detonated and its driver (suicide attacker) was also killed.

Jeish Al-Islam's attack came after the UN Security Council called for the immediate cessation of hostilities under Resolution 2401.

Repeated attacks of the terrorist groups, including the Al-Nusra that has been excluded from the UN ceasefire call, on residential areas in Damascus and other government-controlled regions have caused the army to storm the regions that are under Al-Nusra's control in Eastern Ghouta to end attacks on civilians.

Several media outlets reported earlier today that the Syrian Army troops launched an assault on a number of Al-Nusra-held districts in Eastern Ghouta and seized control over several key positions.

The Syrian media outlets reported that the army has started an attack against the Al-Nusra Front terrorists in Harasta region.
