Syrian troops are being involved in street fighting in Adra, located 20 kilometres north east of Damascus, which is occupied by the armed extremists. According to media reports, the military command has decided not to use the artillery there, taking into account the fact that militants are using peaceful civilians as human shields. Army units, which are storming the houses in Adra, have managed to save dozens of the Alawite, Duz and Christian families, which were seized by the militants, the Al Ahad television reported. And still, the terrorists have executed more than 90 captives, including women and children, the Al Ahad television said.
