Thirty rebel fighters with their families were bussed Thursday from southern Quneitra province towards the opposition areas in northern Syria over a Russian-brokered deal.
The deportation took place after the town of Umm Batinah near the Israeli-Occupied Golan Heights was besieged for two weeks by the Syrian regime forces, according to Zaman al-Wasl reporter.
At least 30 members of the rebel group that controls the town have refused to a reconciliation offer and preferred to leave to northern Syria.

In July 2018, about 3000 rebels and their families evacuated southern Syria under a Russian-mediated deal but few rebel groups still enjoy power resulting in scattered clashes over the past three years.
