Soldiers of the Syrian army have located tunnels through which militants infiltrated into a region near the capital Damascus, Press TV reports.
The soldiers found the tunnels in the Jobar district, two kilometers northeast of the Old City walls, on Wednesday.
Hundred of militants are said to have used the tunnel to cross into the region and as a gateway to flee the army’s strikes.
The militants, who were from radical groups such as the so-called Ajnad al-Sham Islamic Union, aimed at breaching the parameter the Syrian army has enforced in the area.
