(Zaman Al Wasl)- Syrian regime has freed 400 people arrested seven months ago while they were fleeing ISIS-held area in eastern Syria province to the Qalamoun region near Damascus, a rebel spokesman said Thursday.
Said Seif, spokesman for Ahmed al-Abdo Battalions, told Zaman al-Wasl that 400 of about 1000 people held in al-Dumayr military airport, 46 km (30) miles) east of the capital had been freed by the regime air intelligence.
The displaced people fled Deir Ezzor, Raqqa, Hasaka, the eastern countryside of Homs into the town of al-Dumayr but regime forces arrested them.
As regime forces launch one the bloodiest offensives in Eastern Ghouta since the revolution started in 2011, al-Dumayr airport has turned into a key bastion for the aggression acts against the embattled enclave.
Seif said the release of displaced people was due to the regime's need for buildings to settle hundreds of loyal fighters are taking from the airport a mobilization point.
