The last batch of militants and their family members are being trasferred from the Barzeh suburb of east Damascus to the Idlib Governorate, per the agreement put in place between the government and the terrorist rebels.

According to the National Defense Forces (NDF), the government-provided buses have arrived to Barzeh and will leave in the upcoming hours.

Once this batch of militants and their families leave Barzeh, the Syrian government will have complete control of this suburb for the first time since late 2011.

While all of the hostile militants will have exited Barzeh today, several other rebels will stay inside the suburb, as they try to settle their cases with the government.
