Damascus, April 8 (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 8th Apr, 2018 ) :Syria's government has reached an agreement for rebels to leave their battered holdout of Douma for an opposition-held town in the country's north, state media reported on Sunday.
The official news agency SANA, citing a government source, said the agreement would see " the departure of all so-called Jaish al-Islam terrorists to Jarablus within 48 hours". In exchange Jaish al-Islam would release hostages it had been holding, the source said.
SANA reported dozens of buses were already entering Douma to begin the evacuations. The deal came a day after a reported chemical attack that killed dozens of people in Douma, which prompted global outrage but which Syria and its ally Russia have brushed off as "fabrications."
