DAMASCUS (Dispatches) – The Syrian Army and Air Force started to target terrorists' positions in Eastern Qalamoun in the northeastern part of Damascus province after the terrorists refused to join the reconciliation agreement and opened fire at the government forces on Wednesday.
The so-called Jaish al-Islam terrorists group announced in a statement that it has refused to join talks with the Russian forces over a ceasefire and reconciliation agreement in Eastern Qalamoun.
The terrorists further opened fire at the negotiating committee in Jayroud region in Eastern Qalamoun, injuring some of the committee members.
Also, the terrorists of Jaish Tahrir al-Sham and Ahmad Abdu terrorist groups stormed the army positions in al-Muhassa region.
Later, the army's artillery and missile units pounded terrorists' centers in Mount al-Batra in Eastern Qalamoun and regions near the town of al-Nasiriyeh.
In the meantime, the army aircraft launch heavy airstrikes on terrorists' positions in al-Jabal region in Eastern Qalamoun.     
In a similar development the army troops repelled the terrorists' heavy attack on Eastern Qalamoun region after an agreement between the army and terrorists in al-Dumayr came into force.
The army men engaged in fierce clashes with a group of terrorists in al-Mahasa region between the administrative border of Eastern Qalamoun and Homs province and repelled their attack, killing or wounding a number of terrorists.
Military analysts believe that the attack launched by Ahmad Abdu gunmen and Jeish Tahrir al-Sham was actually a coup to disturb the newly-agreed reconciliation agreement between the army and the terrorists in al-Dumayr region.
