Syrian rebels prepare to quit south Damascus

Baladi - Agencies

Reuters reported that buses arrived in south Damascus on Thursday to transport Syrian rebels from an enclave south of Damascus.

Syrian state TV showed footage of the buses arriving at Beit Sahm, driving through narrow streets surrounded by soldiers and with concrete buildings above showing scars of war.

Some 5,000 fighters and their family members are expected to leave for the opposition areas in northern Syria, it reported, following an earlier group who left the enclave on Monday.

Islamic State fighters holding another part of the same enclave are still fighting after weeks of intense bombardment in the area of al-Hajar al-Aswad and Yarmouk Palestinian refugee camp, the report said.
