Preparations take place in the southwestern Rif Dimashq to start transporting the fighters, their families and those who reject the agreement towards the Syrian North and South

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights learned that the preparations have been still continuing since early morning of Friday the 29th of December 2017, to start launching the buses from the areas of Beit Jinn and Mughr Al-Mir towards the north and the south of Syria, and in the details obtained by the SOHR; preparation started by the fighters of Tahrir Al-Sham, their families and the factions fighters who rejected the agreement which took place between the factions operating in Rif Dimashq and the regime forces through mediators, in addition to the citizens who reject the agreement and those who desire to get out of the Eastern Ghouta on the buses which will carry the fighters, their families and the citizens to Idlib province in the Syrian North and Daraa province in the Syrian South.

The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights published less than 48 hours ago, that dozens of buses and cars arrived in the southwestern Rif Dimashq and stopped at the outskirts of the area, which witnesses a cessation of hostilities since the 25th of December, 2017, and the sources informed the Syrian Observatory that the evacuation will take place during the coming hours after the completion of the boarding of the fighters of Hayaat Tahrir Al-Sham and the factions and their families and civilians refusing the Beit Jenn agreement on the buses. The agreement was reached between the factions and Tahrir Al-Sham and the regime authorities through mediations and they will be transferred to the province of Idlib in the north of Syria and to the province of Daraa in the south of Syria.

It is noteworthy that these negotiations came after weeks of heavy shelling that included hundreds of shells and missiles, believed to be surface-to-surface, and barrel bombs that were dropped from the regime’s helicopters, which have stopped shelling the area after a helicopter was taken down in early December and 3 officers on board were killed while it was flying over the southwestern Rif Dimashq. These negotiations also came after the regime forces and their allied militiamen besieged the factions and Hayaat Tahrir al-Sham in a small circle extending from Magher Al-Meer to the town of Beit Jenn, and the regime forces managed during the past ten days to divide the areas into parts and paralyzed the fighters of the factions and Hayaat Tahrir Al-Sham through firearm control on the roads between Magher al-Meer and Beit Jenn Farm and Beit Jenn town, through controlling hills overseeing the area.
