SAA cut supply lines: militants crash near Damascus
After the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) soldiers liberated Mdeira from the terrorists (East Ghouta district, Damascus province), they managed to reach the strategically important city of Harast. There was a meeting between them and the garrison, which had previously been blocked by the "opposition".
Thus, the enclave of Eastern Ghouta was divided into two zones - northern and southern. Now the supply line used by the militants in the city of Duma is blocked. The gangs are facing an unenviable fate: to be "cooked" in two cauldrons. If they manage to cut off Harasta from Duma, there will even be three cauldrons. According to reports from the Lebanese TV channel Al-Manar, by now the Syrian army has managed to liberate 54% of the territory of Eastern Ghouta.
The SAA advance has created an opportunity for civilians, who have long been used as human shields by the militants, to reach safety through the Jisrein-Mleha and Al-Wafideen humanitarian corridors. The Syrian army is acting in accordance with the agreement on humanitarian pauses. They are set daily from 9 a.m. to 14 p.m. local time (that is, from 10 a.m. to 15 p.m. Moscow time). Of course, this slows down the pace of offensive operations, but increases the chances that it will be possible to save the lives of women and children - those who are used as cover by the terrorists and whose suffering Westerners speculate on. policy. Meanwhile, on March 10, while trying to exit the humanitarian corridor Mleh - Jisrein, militants shot and killed a woman and three children.
One of the positive results of the success of the Syrian Arab army in Eastern Ghout was the fact that on the night of March 11, a large organized exit of civilians took place through a humanitarian corridor. According to the representative of the Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties, Major General Viktor Zolotukhin, 52 people left the war zone, including 26 children. They were sent to the city of Adra, where they will be provided with all the necessary medical care.
Anticipating the imminent release and wanting to bring it closer, the residents of some settlements dare to stage demonstrations against terrorists. Such actions took place in the settlements of Sakba and Hamuria on March 11. Their participants demanded that the militants leave the territory they held.
The head of the Center for the Reconciliation of the warring parties, Yuri Yevtushenko, announced another similar action:
Another danger for civilians is that hostility has broken out between various terrorist groups in the area. According to Major General Vladimir Zolotukhin, there is a disengagement between organizations such as Feylak Ar-Rahman and Jabhat al-Nusra (banned in Russia). Open battles are taking place between them in the streets, and civilians are forced to seek shelter to avoid being killed in these conflicts.
In addition, the terrorists, defeated at the hands of the SAA, continue to avenge the civilians of Damascus and its suburbs, controlled by the Syrian authorities. Mortar shelling by militants continues. On March 11, a shell hit the minibus, which was driving through the city of Jaraman. Four people were killed, six were injured. A day earlier, as a result of shelling of Homsi Street in Jaraman, a child died and four were injured. There are also wounded in the metropolitan areas of Al-Kamaria and Barzah.

The protest activity of the population of East Guta is intensifying. So, today in the village of Kafer Batna, a rally of local residents was held, which put forward to the militants in the village a demand for an immediate exit from it
