Damascus (Qasioun) – the Spokesman for Jaish Al-Islam Hamzah Birqdar on Saturday confirmed the existence of "high-level coordination in the Eastern Ghouta between the Syrian opposition factions.

He said in a statement to Qasioun that the forces of the Syrian regime and the foreign militias loyal to it follow the policy of the scorched land in the eastern Ghouta, referring to the attempts of regime forces to storm the front of the Rayhan, which was foiled and led to the killing of 12 elements of the regime.

The forces of the Syrian regime, supported by Russian warplanes, are seeking to advance from most of the besieged Eastern Ghouta fronts, in parallel with the heavy shelling on the towns and villages of Ghouta, leading to hundreds of deaths and injuries, worsening the humanitarian situation there.
