ALEPPO (Sputnik) — On August 25, the Syrian army and the so-called moderate armed opposition reached an agreement under which some 4,000 civilians were expected to leave Darayya, as well as 700 armed militants, who were to be taken to Idlib.
"According to our sources, terrorists, fighting in the north of Hama, are mainly composed of militants, who were allowed to leave Darayya and come to Idlib. Now they are attacking us and the army led by Jabhat Fatah al Sham, [al-Nusra Front]," the source said.
On Wednesday, a representative of the local militia said terrorists were trying to seize four villages located between the Idlib and Hama provinces.
Syria has been mired in civil war since 2011, with government forces fighting numerous opposition groups, as well as terrorist formations, such as the Daesh, prohibited in many countries, including Russia and the United States.
