Surrendered terrorist militants have turned over tanks, armed pickups and other weapons to the Syrian Arab Army as part of a greater reconciliation deal made almost two weeks ago in western Damascus province’s Beit Jinn valley region.

On Sunday, surrendered gunmen of the Ha’yat Tahrir al-Sham (formerly Jabhat al-Nusra, the Syrian branch of Al-Qaeda) terrorist group from the Beit Jinn valley region of western Damascus province turned over their medium and heavy weapons to the Syrian Arab Army at the town of Hina.

Two battle tanks, scores of armed pickups, heavy machine guns and shoulder-fired rocket launchers represented the bulk of the weapons to be surrendered. The now ex-militants will now be allowed to return to their normal lives.

The event was the third phase of a greater evacuation-reconciliation deal reached between the Syrian government and terrorist militants in the Beit Jinn valley region almost two week ago.

Prior to this, other militants from the region who did not want to reconcile with the government left the Beit Jinn region under the assured protection of the Syrian Arab Army towards rebel-held areas in the provinces of Daraa and Idlib.

Now only one more phase to the reconciliation deal remains to be fulfilled and this involves the Syrian Arab Army reopening the road that runs between the towns of Mazaraat Beit Jinn and Beit Jinn.
