Lebanese Broadcasting Corporation (LBC) website announced the martyrdom of its Syrian reporter early on Monday as he was reporting clashes in Jobar, east of Damascus.

Thaer al-Ajlani, who also works with other media institutions like Sham FM Radi website, was killed while covering operations of the army and armed forces against Takfiri terrorist organizations in Jobar neighborhood in Damascus Countryside, SANA reported.

Jobar is still mostly controlled by terrorist groups including Al-Qaeda's Syrian affiliate Al-Nusra Front. The Syrian army and National Defense Forces have surrounded the town in an attempt to recapture it.

Ajlani’s last public post appeared early Monday on both Facebook and Twitter: "The Syrian army is firing barrages of rockets now towards the positions of Faylaq al-Rahman, east of Damascus."
