(Zaman Al Wasl)- In a rare deal between Isis and Syrian regime army in the embattled southern suburbs of Damascus, tens of the radical group's fighters with their cars have left southern suburb of Damascus heading an Isis-held territory near Iraqi borders, sources told Zaman al Wasl on Monday.
What seems a regime-sponsored deal between local rebels and radical group, Isis fighters have left al Hajar al-Aswad, a next-door district to the Palestinian Yarmouk refugee camp, after almost two-year siege. A move will enable regime forces to have non-Isis zone southern the capital.
Most eastern and southern suburbs of Damascus have been under suffocating siege amid lack of aids and subsidies, people's ordeal pushed them to hold fragile truces with regime.
About 13.5 million people in Syria are now in need of humanitarian assistance and some sort of protection –an increase of 1.2 million in just 10 months, the UN aid chief said.
Since it began in 2011, Syria's conflict has fractured into a complex array of fronts between Kurds, rebels, regime and jihadists, and has killed more than 250,000 people.
