Takfiri terrorists to quit another enclave in Syria's Ghouta

Another Takfiri terrorist group in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta has agreed to leave the region as the government forces advance against terrorists in their last major stronghold near the capital Damascus.

Syrian state media reported on Friday that the government and Faylaq al-Rahman Takfiri terrorist group reached an evacuation deal that allows the transfer from an area in the south of Eastern Ghouta to the northwestern Idlib province.

State television said the area includes the towns of Zamalka, Arbin and Ein Terma, adding that evacuations were due to begin on Saturday at 9:00 am (0700 GMT).

The agreement comes after Faylaq al-Rahman agreed to a ceasefire late Thursday.

Over the past few weeks, Syria and Russia have cornered foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists in Eastern Ghouta, a suburb of Damascus, as part of their campaign to liberate civilians holed up there and end militant attacks from the suburb on the capital.

The month-long assault left the once sprawling militant enclave splintered into three shrinking pockets each held by a separate militant group.

On Thursday, the government and the Ahrar al-Sham Takfiri terrorist group reached the first evacuation deal in Eastern Ghouta, and buses started transporting 1,500 militants from the town of Harasta to the terrorist-held areas in Idlib.

Negotiations are also under way for the main city of Douma, the last remaining militant pocket in Eastern Ghouta.
