Syria has been in a state of civil war since 2011, with government forces fighting against numerous opposition groups and terrorist organizations.
The situation in Eastern Ghouta has been tense over the past weeks, resulting in ongoing shelling by local militants on Damascus and fire from the Syrian pro-government forces. Damascus says it opens fire in response to shelling from Eastern Ghouta. Western countries however, are accusing the Syrian government and Russia of being responsible for the escalation of tensions in the area.
