It comes as Islamic State has been pushed back and forced to retreat from some areas of a Damascus refugee camp by Palestinian fighters.
Two weeks ago IS took over a large part of the Yarmouk refugee camp, which is home to more than 18,000 people besieged by the Syrian army.
A spokesman for a pro-Palestine group said fighting is continuing in the area despite the advances of Palestinian factions.
The United Nations, meanwhile, has expressed concerns for the safety of the civilians trapped inside the refugee camp.
