Southern Damascus: Terrorists Agree to Leave Yarmouk Camp

Terrorists agreed to leave the Yarmouk Camp for Idlib according to an agreement with the militants, field source said.

Around 5,000 of the besieged residents of Fua’a and Kafraya in Idlib countryside will be freed in two phases within the framework of the agreement.

Also, about 85 of abducted people, most of them women and children, in Ashtarbaq town in Jisr al-Shaquor region will be released by the militants.

Meantime, the Syrian army has taken the needed logistical measures for the exit of terrorists from Yarmouk Camp and freeing the besieged people of Fua’a and Kafaraya towns.

The terrorists’ agreement to evacuate the Yarmouk Camp comes while the Syrian army has tightened the grip on terrorists in Southern Damascus due to its rapid advances in several regions in Southern Damascus.
