▶ Clashes in Yarmouk continue between ISIL, Palestinian brigade for 4th day – YouTube
Fighting between ISIL terrorists and a Palestinian brigade continues for a fourth day inside Yarmouk refugee camp in the Syrian capital. The violence has forced the civilians caught in fighting to flee the camp. A Palestinian official says about half of the refugee camp has fallen into terrorists’ hands after days of heavy clashes. A UK-based monitoring group, however, says ninety percent of the camp has been seized by ISIL and the al-Qaeda linked al-Nusra front terrorists. According to the group, the terrorists have launched a counter-offensive to push the Palestinian brigade out of the camp.
Terrorists stormed Yarmouk on Wednesday and were expelled on Thursday before re-entering the camp on Friday. According to the UN, about 18-thousand civilians, including many children reside inside Yarmouk camp located on the southern edge of Damascus.
