We're in Beit Sahm district.
This building was controlled by militants just recently.
They've been firing upon the highway from it.
This road leads to the airport,
it was very dangerous due to that.
Now Syrian Arab Army soldiers have taken this building,
the militants are situated in depth now,
they've been pressed away from the highway,
and as you can see the highway traffic is normal.
Jaramana district populated mostly by Christians
lies further behind this highway,
mortar fire is carried upon it exactly from the depth.
Syrian Arab Army's job is to move there
to thwart these acts of terror.
The Army has cleaned up this district from the militants three times this year
but as soon as civilians would return to the district
the militants would sneak here again
and start firing upon the traffic
to the airport.
This forces Syrian Arab Army
to intervene again and to put things right.
Now the National Reconciliation Committee
holds negotiations to cease fire.
47 have laid down the arms
due to the negotiations during last days.
