DAMASCUS, April 6 (Xinhua) -- Syrian warplanes struck positions of the Islam Army rebels in the Douma district, the last rebel-held area in the capital Damascus' Eastern Ghouta countryside, on Friday after the militants hurdled an agreement for their evacuation from that area, according to the state news agency SANA.
SANA said the Islam Army militants have undermined an agreement reached recently for their evacuation from Douma and the release of kidnapped people in their prisons.
Moreover, the militants fired mortar shells on the Assad suburb and the Wafideen area, which is adjacent to Douma and has a crossing point from which three batches of Islam Army militants evacuated over the past few days before the faltering agreement.
Meanwhile, pan-Arab al-Mayadeen TV reported that the Syrian warplanes carried out 10 airstrikes on Douma on Friday.
