The Syrian army entered Meyadin and controls the market in the west of the city, as well as the ar-Rahba citadel and the Sawami al-Ghal district. The fierce clashes of the army with the IG terrorists * go to the south of the city, where troops captured the farms of al-Chabli and the area of al-Madfiya
