New evacuations in southwest Syria as offensive continues

Baladi - Newspapers 

The Daily Mail quoted activists and pro-Assad media as saying a new group of rebels and their families are being evacuated from the country's southwest, where the regime forces gained new ground in its ongoing offensive.

Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said 25 buses have arrived Saturday at a crossing point to evacuate those who refuse to accept the government's return to areas they controlled for years. The government-affiliated Central Military media also reported the evacuation, a day after the first group left to the north province Idlib, where the opposition still holds sway.

Over the last month, Assad forces backed by Russian air-force have swept through southwestern Syria to consolidate the their control over this strategic corner of the country that straddles the border with Jordan and the frontier with Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.
