Reuters: Insurgents south of Syrian capital surrender, says state TV
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Insurgents in the last area outside the Syrian government’s control near Damascus agreed to surrender on Friday, state media said, after a pounding bombardment overnight and through the morning.
A source familiar with negotiations between the insurgent groups there and the government told Reuters that some fighters from the enclave around Yarmouk refugee camp would be taken to eastern Syria, where Islamic State controls some territory and others to rebel areas in the northwest.
The reported move comes as President Bashar al-Assad accelerates his push to retake remaining enclaves and strengthen his position around the capital following the defeat of rebels in eastern Ghouta this month.
