Buses will take refugees from the checkpoints to villages liberated by the Syrian army.
Dozens of Syrian citizens took advantage of humanitarian corridors on Monday to exit areas under gang control in Idlib province.
According to the Al Ihbaria television channel, at the three checkpoints established in Abu al-Duhur, Al-Habit and Al-Hader, civilians are provided with medical care, water and hot meals. Buses have been allocated to refugees to take them to localities previously exempted by the Syrian army from terrorism.
Earlier, the Russian Centre for Reconciliation of the Warring Parties in Syria reported that three checkpoints for the exit of civilians from militant-controlled areas of the Idlib de-escalation zone in Syria began operating at 1 p.m. Moscow time. The checkpoints are in the governorates of Idlib, Hama and Aleppo. The ceasefire in the Idlib de-escalation zone in northern Syria came into effect on 12 January. Meanwhile, Syrian government forces ceased fighting from 14:00 Moscow time on 9 January.
According to the Al Watan newspaper, bad weather conditions do not allow troops to conduct large-scale combat operations against the enemy in the south-east of Idlib. However, according to the newspaper, the Syrian military did not allow terrorists from Jabhat al-Nusra (banned in Russia) to use the ceasefire to relocate their forces and launched artillery strikes against them in the area of Jebel Shehshab.
Al Watan reports that the command of the republic’s Armed Forces is preparing an operation against terrorist outposts in the west and south of Aleppo – the economic capital of Syria, which will save from mortar attacks by militants peaceful neighborhoods of the city. In addition, if the operation is successful, the troops will be able to retake control of a section of the Aleppo-Damascus highway that is in the hands of gangs and join the army units advancing from the province of Hama.
