| [AlMasdar] A large aid convoy arrived jihadist-held northern Homs, Sunday, following an agreement between the government and latter to allow for UN and Red Crescent vehicles to enter this besieged area. The aid convoy consisted of 22 trucks filled with supplies that were intended for the Hay’at Tahrir Al-Sham controlled towns of Al-Ghanto, Ta’er Maaleh, and Al-Dar Al-Kabeera. This aid convoy entered northern Homs just days after talks began between the rebel forces and Russia regarding a potential de-escalation zone in the Al-Rastan and Al-Houla plains. New safe-zone to be announced in northern Homs [AlMasdar] A new deescalation zone is expected to be announced soon in the northern countryside of the Homs Governorate, a military source told Al-Masdsar News on Sunday night. According to the source, the deescalation zone will cover the entire Al-Rastan and Al-Houla plains of northern Homs. Similar to the agreements in the East Ghouta and southern Syria, the deescalation zone requires all parties in the area to adhere to a strict ceasefire. In addition to a ceasefire, the Russian reconciliation teams in the area will attempt to broker a deal that will reopen the vital Homs-Hama Highway so that commerce can once again resume in this region. The Homs-Hama Highway has been closed for more than four years now and still remains cutoff by the jihadist factions in the Al-Rastan Plain. |
