Takfiris begin leaving south Damascus under govt. evacuation deal

Foreign-backed Takfiri terrorists have started evacuating three districts south of the Syrian capital, Damascus, which they agreed to hand back to the government under a recent deal.

On Thursday, Syria’s official SANA news agency reported that buses had arrived in Babila, Yalda and Beit Saham, to transfer the militants and their families from the area to the militant-held regions in the country’s north.

“Around 5,000 terrorists and their families are expected to leave, fulfilling an agreement reached on Sunday between the Syrian government and terrorist groups,” the report said.

The so-called Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which complies its reports based on anti-government sources, also reported that the deal was the outcome of negotiations between the militants, on the one side, and the Syrian government and Russia, on the other.

Since February, the Syrian army backed by Russia, has been engaged in a major military push to cleanse Damascus and the surrounding areas of terrorist groups.

In parallel with the ongoing operation, the government has sought to strike evacuation deals with the militants holed up in the suburban areas around the capital in an effort to decrease the fighting and protect the civilians caught up there.
