The General Command of the Syrian Armed Forces in a statement declared cessation of hostilities in the Southern parts of the country in the provinces of Dara'a, Quneitra and Sweida from 12 o'clock midday on 2-7-2017 until 00:00 on 6-7-2017 within the framework of the national reconciliation, the Syrian state TV reported.
The Syrian army last declared ceasefire with the terrorist groups in Dara'a for 48 hours in mid July last year, when a meeting was to be held between the Syrian army mediators and militants' representatives to draw up a proper format for the ceasefire and its terms.
According to earlier reports, Jordanian and Syrian governments had been in talks to reopen the Nasib border crossing directly South of Dara'a city.
