Shafaq News/ On Wednesday, a preliminary ceasefire agreement has been reached in the towns of Jaramana and Ashrafiyat Sahnaya in Rif Dimashq following deadly clashes between Syrian security forces and members of the local Druze community.
According to Syria’s state-run SANA news agency, the agreement was reached during a meeting attended by the governors of Rif Dismashq, Sweida, and Quneitra provinces, along with local dignitaries and community leaders.
