Syrian regime forces and Russian squads have entered Deraa Camp for Palestinian refugees through AlSaraya crossing in Deraa AlBalad, south of Syria.
The forces inspected the residents’ identity documents in search of wanted opposition affiliates.
Syrian army troops entered Deraa al Balad, the birthplace of the uprising against President Bashar al-Assad's rule, for the first time since it lost control over the area a decade ago, residents.
Army units set up at least nine checkpoints across the city under a Russian-brokered deal between the army and opposition groups that was finally agreed this week. Previous ones had faltered over disagreements over the extent of army control in the area and disarming rebels.
In 2018, Assad's army, aided by Russian air power and Iranian-backed militias, retook southern Syria, bordering Jordan and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights to the west.
