Western backed militants (the Forces of Martyr Ahmad al-Abdo and its allies) have tried to counter-attack against Syrian army troops advancing in the desert southeast of Damascus. However, government forces were able to defend their gains in the area.

Earlier this month, government troops have captured more than 70 square kilometers east of the al-Seen Military Airbase, setting control over Beir al-Siba, the Mount Sabahiyat and the Rishi, Tal Shahab, al-Sabab Biyar and the Zaza Checkpoint.

In case of further advances, the Syrian army will attempt to reach areas controlled by the 5th Assault Corps south of Palmyra.
