Syrian government troops have made major gains on their path of freeing Eastern Ghouta from terrorist groups.

Syrian troops have fully recaptured the al-Muhammadeya village and all farmlands surrounding it following heavy clashes with the militants.

Government troops are also making advances in the Harasta district.

A large number of terrorists were also killed during operations which resulted in the liberation of the town of al-Nashabiye and a number of villages and farms in its vicinity.

Meanwhile, terrorist groups in Eastern Ghouta are still blocking civilians from leaving the city through safe passages.

The Syrian army is making steady advances in the enclave, but it is facing a hostile West which is threatening airstrikes to stop the push. President Bashar al-Assad vowed on Sunday that Syrian forces would continue the latest campaign until the whole area is retaken.
