Four breaches of cessation of hostilities observed in Damascus countryside in past 24 hours

Lattakia, SANA – The number of breaches of the cessation of hostilities agreement rose to 758 after 4 new breaches were observed in the past 24 hours.

According to the Hmeimim-based Russian center monitoring the agreement, which came into effect on February 27, the new breaches were committed by the so-called “Jaish al- Islam” terrorist organization in Damascus Countryside.

The center explained in a statement on Wednesday that Jaish al-Islam terrorists targeted with mortar rounds several positions of the Syrian army in Eastern Ghouta.

On the other hand, the Russian center said terrorist groups of Jabhat al-Nusra and ISIS continued attempts to undermine the agreement, targeting with mortar and artillery rounds three towns in Aleppo, in addition to shelling four towns in Damascus Countryside, a town in Idleb and a town in Lattakia.

The cessation of hostilities agreement is not applicable to ISIS, Jabhat al-Nusra or other groups designated internationally as terrorist organizations.
