A truce agreement was reached earlier Friday in the Wadi Barada valley northwest of Damascus, but details were not revealed. The truce held for a few hours before Hezbollah and Assad regime resumed their attacks.
The Media Committee of Wadi Barada said maintenance teams entered the valley to make necessary repairs to the Ein al-Fijeh spring facility which provides most of Damascus and its countryside with water.
This follows a ferocious offensive by Hezbollah and Assad regime on Wadi Barada in violation of the ceasefire which was declared in Ankara last December.
Wadi Barada suffered from heavy bombing and artillery shelling by Hezbollah and Assad terrorist for the past 23 days. The attacks killed many civilians and caused widespread damage to property, including the vital Ein al-Fijeh spring facility which provides most of Damascus and its countryside with drinking water.
A countrywide ceasefire in Syria was declared on Thursday (29 December 2016), after Turkey, Russia and opposition fighting factions reached a deal in the Turkish capital Ankara. According to the deal, Turkey and Russia would act as guarantor countries for the implementation of the ceasefire.
