On Wednesday, Jaysh al-Islam killed nine loyalist members and captured three others during an operation in Eastern Ghouta.
The official spokesman of Jaysh al-Islam, Hamza Bireqdar, told SMART that their members infiltrated beyond loyalist frontlines near Al Zareqia in Al Marj district, killing nine members while capturing three others and seizing their weapons and ammunitions. Bireqdar did not mention any Jaysh al-Islam casualties.
Days ago, Jaysh al-Islam killed 15 loyalist members in a counter attack against their outposts in the vicinity of Al Zareqia.
Loyalist forces repeatedly attempt to storm Eastern Ghouta and frequently clash with Jaysh al-Islam and al-Rahman Corps in Joubar neighborhood and Ein Tarma, which are located at an entry point to Eastern Ghouta from the direction of the Damascus suburb of Zamalka.
