DARAA, Syria (North Press) – On Saturday, notables of the town of al-Jiza in the eastern countryside of Daraa, southern Syria, held a meeting with government forces at the headquarters of the Security Committee in the city, in the presence of the Russian Military Police (MP).
In the meeting, it was agreed to start settling the status of a number of wanted persons by the security services in the town, local sources in the town said.
The sources added that the government forces demanded the handing of a number of light weapons, without specifying a specific number.
The settlement will include the residents of the town of al-Mata’iya and the villages of Nada and Amman on the border strip with Jordan, according to the same sources.
Earlier today, the settlements’ procedures of dozens of wanted people in the bordering town of Nasib with Jordan, in Daraa eastern countryside were started.
On September 5, a number of Daraa’s notables and government forces, in the presence of a number of Russian officers, reached a ceasefire agreement, including handing over weapons and deploying governmental security points in the towns of Daraa governorate.
Daraa was subjected to a suffocating siege imposed by Iranian-backed factions and the government forces for more than two months. Finally, an agreement was reached between the parties to the conflict brokered by Russia on a ceasefire and the entry of government forces into the besieged neighborhoods.
