The Action Group’s correspondent in south Damascus has reported that the Syrian regime forces, and with the support of the Palestinian factions affiliated to it, bombarded Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees in Damascus, killing two people.
According to our correspondent, the regime’s planes launched more than 30 air raids yesterday afternoon, targeting Yarmouk camp, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, Al-Assaly and Al-Tadamon in south Damascus. The aircrafts also dropped a number of explosive barrels, surface-to-surface “elephant” missiles and mortar shells.
He added that the bombardment led to the death of two Palestinian refugees; “Emad Rayan” and “Safwan” who is known as the Jordanian, as well as a number of injured people, resulting from the bombardment of Al-Magharba Street in Yarmouk camp, near the old martyrs cemetery and sports city. The shelling also caused destruction to the civilian houses.
Our correspondent said that extremely violent clashes are currently taking place on the Sleekha axis in the Tadamon neighborhood, next to Yarmouk camp, with heavy and medium weapons. This is in conjunction with the presence of Syrian reconnaissance planes flying over the region.
Yesterday morning, the Syrian regime forces bombarded sites belonging to ISIS in Yarmouk camp, where the regime’s forces and the Palestinian factions affiliated to it, which are located in the headquarters of the automated telephone center in Palestine Street, used a machine gun 23 to target ISIS’s sites in the lanes of Deir Yassin, in Yarmouk camp, causing destruction to the houses of the civilians.
This comes amid talks about a 48-hour deadline for ISIS to get out of the places of its control in areas of south Damascus; Yarmouk camp, Al-Qadam, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad and Al-Tadamon.
The Syrian Al-Watan newspaper had previously stated that the Syrian regime gave ISIS’s fighters a deadline of 48 hours, to leave the areas of its control in south Damascus; Yarmouk camp, Al-Qadam, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad and Al-Tadamon. According to the newspaper, the Syrian regime will launch a huge military operation if ISIS refuses to leave, in order to end its presence in the area and regain control of it.
A few days ago, UNRWA called on all sides of the conflict, to exercise maximum restraint in order to ensure the preservation of civilians and to take all measures to prevent unnecessary damage to the civilian infrastructure.
The Syrian regime forces impose their siege on Yarmouk camp, preventing the entry of medicine and medical staff. More than 1500 families are living under the siege of Yarmouk camp, and they have been banned from securing treatment from the ill and buying their basic food necessities.
Yarmouk camp is located 8 KM away from the center of Damascus. It had the largest number of Palestinian refugees in Syria before the war began in 2011.
