Syria, Apr 08 (ANI): The Syrian government has launched a fierce air and ground assault on the last rebel-held town in eastern Ghouta, killing at least 32 people in a bid to seal President Bashar al-Assad's biggest victory since 2016, a war monitor said. Thick clouds of smoke were seen rising from the targeted area, the town of Douma, where the Jaish al-Islam rebel group is holding out after insurgents in other parts of eastern Ghouta accepted safe passage to other rebel areas.
