(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian regime warplanes have carried out more than 20 raids on the northern countryside of Homs city, hours before the sundown of Monday where the U.S.-Russian brokered cessation of hostilities went into effect.
Zaman al-Wasl reporter said the vacuum and cluster bombs strikes targeted towns of Talbiseh, al-Rastan, al-Hola, al-Farhaniya, Jawalak and al-Mashrou'.
Meanwhile, Syria's major opposition armed groups said will issue a statement over the deal.
"The decision is taken," the opposition source said, speaking on condition of anonymity. "In the next few hours there will be a statement where we state that, but there will be a lot of harsh reservations and observations regarding the whole package. But as a final takeaway, we do agree."
The source said the acceptance had already been communicated to the United States, which finalised the proposed package with Russia on Friday.
The statement will be backed by "the largest groups", including Ahrar al-Sham, a militant group that had vocally criticized the deal, the source said.
Opposition groups belonging to the Free Syrian Army had already signaled their assent to the deal on Sunday, telling the United States that while they would "cooperate positively" with the ceasefire, they were concerned it would benefit the government. (With Reuters)
