BEIRUT—The Syrian army bombarded a jihadist enclave in south Damascus on Monday, state television and a war monitor said, as President Bashar al-Assad seeks to regain all ground near the capital.

The military focus on the area, where ISIS holds a pocket next to one held by rebel factions, began last week after the army took back eastern Ghouta.
