Rebel fighters gesture as they stand
next to a bus before their evacuation, at Harasta highway outside Jobar,
in Damascus, Syria March 26, 2018.
The massive Russian-backed Syrian military offensive in suburbs east
of Damascus is almost over, with rebels holed up in just a single town
after abandoning the rest of the eastern Ghouta enclave, Moscow said on
Thursday.
Thousands of fighters have accepted Russian-brokered deals to leave other parts of the enclave in the past week with their families on government-supplied buses, giving them safe passage to other insurgent-held areas. Tens of thousands of other civilians have stayed behind to accept state rule, and tens of thousands more have fled across the frontline.
