(FSA) agreed to handover the 20+ towns they controlled in the al-Lajat region to the Syrian Army.

The source added that many rebels will remain in al-Lajat to settle their cases with the Syrian government, while the remaining will move to southeast Dara’a.

For the jihadist rebels, this is a major blow to their morale, as they controlled the al-Lajat region for most of the war.

Furthermore, the loss of northeast Dara’a only adds to the pressure that is already on their forces inside the entire province. H

With the al-Lajat region soon to be under their control, the Syrian Army will turn their attention to the Nassib Crossing and historical city of Busra al-Sham in southeast Dara’a.
