Militants laying down arms

Around 80 militants, operating in Damascus province, laid down their arms on Tuesday and turned themselves in to the Syrian officials as the pro-government forces keep on advancing across the Southern province.

The militants formerly fighting in the Damascus province's al-Ghadam region surrendered to the Syrian government as the forces loyal to the Syrian President Bashar Assad continue gaining ground across the country.

Reports said earlier today that the Syrian Air Force dropped a series of leaflets over the militant-held part of Eastern Ghouta, giving the Takfiri terrorists yet another chance to lay down arms and surrender to the government forces.

As the Syrian government forces are advancing against the militant groups in different parts of Damascus province, the country's air fleet began dropping the leaflets, the practice that the government follows in parallel with hitting the militants.

Reports said also that the Syrian army continued to advance against the militant groups, mainly the al-Nusra Front, and seized back more lands in the Eastern part of Damascus province known as Eastern Ghouta.

The Syrian army stormed the Takfiri militant groups' positions in Eastern Ghouta and pushed them back from the strategic regions between Nayem and Harasta al-Qantara in a day-long battle with the terrorists.

The Syria army is now engaged in fortifying its position in the newly-liberated regions.
