Videos posted on the internet appeared to show that fighting is still underway in Syria. One video showed fighters from the Syrian rebel group, Jais al Azza, opening fire at government forces in Atshan village in rural Hama. Another clip showed members of the Syrian Civil Defence, known as the White Helmets, rescuing injured people.
Those injured were caught in artillery shelling targeting eastern Ghouta. Meanwhile, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said that government forces are only 6 kilometers from reaching the base from the second largest city Aleppo. Fighting inside Syria has forced millions to flee the country.
