Destruction in Homs Syria

Destruction in Homs Syria

IS has largely been defeated since storming across the region in 2014, but still clings to pockets of territory in eastern Syria and maintains the ability to launch deadly attacks.

State television and Syrian newspapers said information indicated that, under the deal, the group would hand over heavy and mid-sized weapons and acknowledge the restoration of state sovereignty over Douma.

But the group managed to launch a surprise strike in the capital Damascus last month that saw them capture the Qadam district.

Tens of thousands of people have hit the roads, with their belongings stuffed into bags or carrying blankets, to flee out of the enclave into regime-held territory.

And more than 41,000 evacuated a southern pocket including the town of Arbin this week under another deal with the Faylaq al Rahman opposition faction.

The "final" agreement came after the so-called Syria Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) earlier said a "partial agreement" had been reached for the evacuation of hundreds of civilians to Idlib Province, but the fate of militants was still under discussion.

A civilian committee taking part in the negotiations with Russian Federation said a deal had been reached "to evacuate humanitarian cases to northern Syria".

He further said impact would be lesser if oil prices remain lower in the global market during April. The new prices of petrol have been set at Rs86 per litre and high speed diesel (HSD) at Rs96.45.

It gave no further details nor did it say when the planned evacuations would start.

Talks with Jaish al Islam for the evacuation of Douma had dragged on for several days, with residents growing nervous.

The Syrian Army has repeatedly said regaining control over rebel-held suburbs would stop rocket attacks on the capital.

Haitham, 38, a media activist who did not give his surname, said he would rather stay in his hometown.

The army command said military operations were continuing in the outskirts of the city of Douma, controlled by the Jaish al-Islam rebel group, the last patch of eastern Ghouta still held by insurgents. "But if they give us the choice of dying or leaving, it will be another matter".

"The armed forces' formations, aided by allied forces, wrapped up military operations in Damascus countryside's Eastern Ghouta, with full control established all over its cities and towns", said the statement.

Also on Saturday, the British Ministry of Defense confirmed that Sergeant Matt Tonroe from the 3rd Battalion the Parachute Regiment was also killed in the Syria action "whilst on duty in the Middle East on the 29th March 2018".
