Syria is a moral defeat for Europeans

“Regime forces assaulted Hamouriyah,” the UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights monitoring group said on Wednesday, adding that the troops were able to control areas in the south of the enclave.

Russia-backed regime forces launched an assault on eastern Ghouta in February to retake the last opposition bastion outside Damascus.

The offensive has split the enclave into three sections, each controlled by different rebels.

The area around Hamouriyah is controlled by the Faylaq al-Rahman faction.

It has come under intense bombardment in recent days, according to an AFP correspondent in the area.
