Only a few hours after the Syrian Army began aerial bombardment to reclaim last rebel-held city in East Ghouta, infantry units have reportedly stormed the city from southwest.

The assault comes as negotiations between the Saudi-backed Jaysh al-Islam and the Syrian government – brokered by Russia – collapsed after the insurgents refused to fulfill the terms of the agreement.
