Yarmouk camp for Palestinian refugees was subjected to air raids and violent bombardments yesterday, targeting the area surrounding Al-Orouba Street, resulting in significant damage to the buildings of the camp. Our correspondent indicated that the Russian and Syrian warplanes launched more than 85 air raids on Yarmouk camp and the southern region, in addition to throwing 30 explosive barrels on Yarmouk camp, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad, the outskirts of Yelda and Al-Qadam, noting that 56 surface-to-surface “elephant” rockets were also fired, in addition to dozens of missiles. This resulted in massive destruction of the infrastructure and buildings, followed by heavy shelling with all types of weapons, and the outbreak of fires in civilian homes in the neighborhoods under attack. This coincided with the outbreak of violent fighting on the fronts of Al-Qadam neighborhood, the Martyrs’ Sector in Palestine Street in Yarmouk camp, Al-Hajar Al-Aswad and Al-Tadamon.
Our correspondent added that a state of sudden calm prevailed in the southern region, yesterday afternoon, where the warplanes stopped bombarding the area, amid reports of negotiations between ISIS and the Syrian regime, however, the Action Group was unable to confirm the authenticity of these reports.
On his part, Secretary of the Alliance of Palestinian Resistance Forces in Syria, Khaled Abd El-Majeed, that the Central Command of the Alliance will continue to work with all parties concerned to arrange for the return of the Palestinian and Syrian families to Yarmouk camp and its vicinity.
In the same context, media outlets close to the Syrian regime reported the initial agreement between the armed Syrian opposition in south Damascus, the Syrian regime and Russia. According to the report, the agreement leads to reconciliation in the south of Damascus and the exit of those who do not wish to settle the situation.
According to the media outlets, the agreement came after a meeting between the military delegation of the towns of south Damascus (Yelda, Babilla and Beit Sahm) and Russia. It includes stabilizing the areas of the sectors, so as to prevent them from being targeted or stormed by the Syrian regime's army and an agreement to prevent the entry of its members to the Zein neighborhoods, piding with the areas controlled by ISIS.
