The Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said a group of Daesh terrorists had been evacuated from the last insurgent enclave near Damascus on Sunday in a withdrawal that will restore state control over the area.

On Saturday, a Syrian military source denied that any agreement had been reached between the Syrian army and Daesh terrorists who have been holed up in the enclave centred around the Yarmouk Camp south of the capital.

Syrian state media made no mention of a withdrawal by Daesh terrorists on Sunday.
