The regime forces and their militias, backed with the Russian air-force, have captured several towns and hills in the countryside of Daraa, on Monday.

In this context, Baladi News correspondent said that regime forces, backed by the Russian aerial bombardment have forced the opposition factions to surrender the strategic hills which overlook the western countryside of Daraa.

Among these hills are the hills of al-Harra, al-Mal, and Mashara.

This surrender comes after an agreement between both sides, after the big losses that the regime suffered on the fronts of al-Harra and Mashara during the clashes that took place on Sunday.

The hill of al-Harra is one of the most strategic points in the region, as it provides those who control it, a full control of all the main roads in the villages of Daraa and Quneitra.

Other factions in Daraa have concluded an agreement with the Russian side, which stated the handing over of the Nasib border crossing to the regime forces, and handing over the heavy weapons of the faction, in return of the regime's withdrawal form the villages it took control of, over its last campaign.
