REPORT: Syrian Yarmouk camp hit by air strikes and shelling - social media video
Air strikes and shelling hit the Yarmouk camp near southern Damascus on Thursday, as Syrian army bombarded jihadists in the last area outside government control near Damascus.
 
Video uploaded to a social media website purports to show the night air strikes and shelling on Yarmouk, Syria's biggest camp for Palestinian refugees before the war, which has been under the control of Islamic State fighters for years.

Although most residents have fled, up to 12,000 remain there and in the neighboring areas under jihadist or rebel control, said the U.N. agency that helps them.

President Bashar al-Assad has accelerated his push to retake remaining enclaves and strengthen his position around the capital following the defeat of rebels in eastern Ghouta this month. Recovering the Yarmouk camp and neighboring areas south of the city would give Assad complete control over Syria's capital.
