In addition to their advance in east Al-Qaboun, the Syrian Arab Army and their allies were also capable of unearthing a rebel tunnel in the southeastern sector of the district.
A group of Daesh rebels were trapped inside this tunnel and were ordered by the Syrian Arab Army to surrender. However, they refused to do so resulting in the SAA destroying the tunnel, according to the local source.
The Syrian Arab Army’s High Command has once again offered to transfer the rebels to Idlib in exchange for their surrendering of Al-Qaboun. The deal is expected to be implemented since Daesh rebels have lost too much ground.
