Syrian government forces overran rebels in a town northeast of Damascus on Thursday, strengthening President Bashar al-Assads grip on territory around the capital. The town - Adra al-Omalia - is about 30 km (19 miles) from central Damascus but far from parts of Syria where the United States has launched air strikes against Islamic State militants. Syrian state TV said the armed forces had imposed their control over the city of Adra al-Omalia and eliminated a number of terrorists. Troops were combing the area and clearing out explosives planted by militants, it added. Assads forces, backed by the Lebanese Shiite movement Hezbollah, have been gradually extending control over a corridor of territory from Damascus to the Mediterranean coast this year, seizing towns and villages along the main north-south highway and in the mountainous Qalamoun area along the Lebanese border. https://zamanalwsl.net/en/news/6774.html
