SYRIAN WAR REPORT – MAY 31, 2018: 9,200 LOCALS FROM EASTERN GHOUTA JOIN SYRIAN ARMY More than 9,200 locals from the Eastern Ghouta region near Damascus have joined the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and several pro-government groups since the liberation of the area on April 14, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported on May 30. Under the reconciliation agreement reached in the area, 18-42 y.o. men got a six-month period to settle their legal status and join the SAA if they have not completed their mandatory service. On May 9, the number of locals joined government forces was about 4000 according to the Syrian pro-opposition news outlet Damascus Voice. The US is allegedly considering to abandon the al-Tanaf base near the Syrian-Iraqi border under a deal with Russia, which will also force Iranian-backed forces and Hezbollah to withdraw away from the border with Jordan and from the contact line with Israel.
