The Syrian army and the National Defense Forces (NDF) have successfully advanced in the Western Ghouta region near the Syrian capital, Damascus. The army and the NDF cut off the road between the militant-controlled villages of Der Khabiyah and Moqaylabiya.
The Der Khabiyah-Moqaylabiya road is one of few roads remaining under the control of militant groups in the region. Now, when the pro-government forces control it, Der Khabiyah and Moqaylabiya has become vulnerable for attacks by the army and the NDF.
