People remained in their homes until they were sure of a deal reached Friday between the Syrian army and the rebels to settle the situation in the southern province of Daraa. The Syrian army has been on a wide-scale campaign in Daraa since June 19 to recapture Daraa from various rebel groups, including ultra-radical ones. The army has become in control over 72 percent of Daraa through military action and reconciliation deals with rebels, according to a monitor group. (Xinhua/Ammar Safarjalani)
