Syrian rebels start pull-out from south Damascus

In Syria, rebels on Thursday began pulling out of an enclave in south of Damascus, under a negotiated withdrawal.

Syrian state television said the first batch of buses has departed, carrying the rebel fighters and their families from the area.

It said some five thousand fighters and their family members are expected to leave Beit Sahm, Babila and Yalda neighborhoods for the opposition areas in northern part of the country.
