Daraa:

Rebel elements who refused reconciliation with the Syrian government, and their families were evacuated today from Mahajah towards northern Syria. Syrian Arab News Agency stated that ten buses evacuated around 250 individuals from the locality.

Syrian Arab Army and allies reportedly captured Tell al-Jumou in western Daraa from the Islamic State-affiliated Jaysh Khalid ibn al-Walid.
