TEHRAN (Defapress)- The ISIL found themselves on the run at several flanks in both Hajar al-Aswad and Yarmouk Camp following a heavy joint offensive of the Syrian Army and their Palestinian allies.

According to a military source in Damascus, the Syrian Army and their Palestinian allies are currently advancing at the Southeastern and Western directions of Hajar al-Aswad, along with the Western flank of the Yarmouk Camp.

In a similar development on Thursday, the army forces continued clashes with the ISIL militants in Southern Hajar al-Aswad, retaking control of the region's cemetery and advancing towards the region's stadium.
