BEIRUT: Ambulances and buses on Monday entered the besieged rebel-held Syrian town of Zabadani to evacuate scores of fighters, among them injured, to Turkey under an UN-sponsored deal reached by the warring sides, rebel sources in the town said.
The deal will allow rebel fighters who have been holed up for months in Zabadani, near the Lebanese border, to have safe passage to Beirut airport to then head for their final destination of Turkey under International Red Cross Committee (ICRC) auspices.
