RNA - "The ground should be prepared rapidly for the wounded and the elderly to leave Fua'a and Kafraya regions (in Idlib) and the international community should harshly respond and react to any group that rock the boat," Shamkhani said in Tehran on Wednesday.

 

He reminded the western countries and supporters of terrorist groups' record of misusing the ceasefire in Syria, and said, "Instead of partial resolutions and statements, serious resolve is needed to block shipment of weapons, forces and financial aid to (the terrorists) in Syria."

 

Shamkhani underlined the strategic victories gained by the Syrian army and its allies in Aleppo, and said the Syrian government and nation's resistance can set a role model for the regional states and is a strong response to the countries which support terrorists flagrantly.

 

The Syrian army said earlier today that terrorists groups' lack of commitment to the agreement on the exit of injured civilians from the two besieged towns of Fua'a and Kafraya in Idlib pushed evacuation of militants and their families from the Eastern neighborhoods of Aleppo into suspension.

 

The source said that the terrorist groups that have laid siege on Fua'a and Kafraya towns in Northern Idlib once again violated the evacuation agreement's terms, leaving negative impact on the trend of transferring militants and their families from Eastern Aleppo.

 

Based on the latest reports 15,500 militants and their families have thus far left Aleppo and the army has called for faster evacuation of militant from the Eastern neighborhoods to dispatch engineering units to defuse terrorist-planed bombs and mines in the newly-freed districts.

 

A military source disclosed on Tuesday that a growing number of militants that had earlier called for evacuation from Aleppo refused relocation to terrorist-held regions in Idlib and turned themselves in to the Syrian Army troops, applying for amnesty.

 

The source said that while over 3,400 militants turned themselves in to the government forces since the army started operation in Aleppo's Eastern neighborhoods, a growing number of more militants and their families asked for government amnesty.

 

The militants that applied for amnesty rejected relocation to Idlib.
