(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian regime warplanes on Sunday struck rebel bastions in the Eastern Qalamoun region in spite of the newly-reached ceasefire deal, local activists said.
The raids targeted al-Bitra region in the eastern mountains of Qalamoun, 60 km (40 miles east of the capital),that lies on the enclaves of Syria's desert, also known as Badia, activist Wissam Abdel Nour told Zaman al-Wasl.
Last Tuesday, Russia fortified the Assad regime with a de-escalation zone agreement in Eastern Qalamoun ,a deal makes most of surrounding districts of Damascus non-war areas.
Rebels have accused the regime of undermining the deal over its own efforts to reach reconciliation agreement dismantling rebels from their power whereas the de-escalation zone deals show rebels as powerful counterparts to Assad, according to the local activists.
A military source told Zaman al-Wasl that representatives of the Martyr Ahmed al-Abdu forces, Jaish al-Islam, al-Rahman Legion had met with a senior Russian officer and American officers and sealed the deal.
The newly-agreed zone includes Ruhaiba, Jayroud, al-Nasiriyah and al-Dumayr.
