150 Militants Surrender to Government in Damascus Province

150 Takfiri terrorists laid down arms and turned themselves in to the Syrian army in Damascus province, officials announced on Thursday.

“150 wanted militants in al-Qadam area in Damascus gave up fighting and surrendered to the army,” a Syrian official said.

Also last Thursday, tens of wanted militants turned themselves in to the Syrian authorities as government troops continue to gain ground across the Arab country.

Some 42 wanted militants from Damascus, Damascus countryside, Tartous, Quneitra and
Dara’a turned themselves in to the authorities on Thursday.

During the recent months, hundreds of militants have given up fight after the Syrian army troops, the National Defense Forces (NDF) and Hezbollah fighters, backed by Syrian and Russian air forces, started making significant advances and recaptured more towns and villages across the country.

In Late December, some 117 wanted persons from Homs province and 40 from the provinces of Damascus and Hama turned themselves in to the Syrian authorities.

Meanwhile, 86 wanted militants from Damascus province and Aleppo also gave up fight to be pardoned.

The Syrian army and its allies have purged Takfiri terrorists from hundreds of square kilometers of land in the Syrian provinces in the past months.
