The Syrian government and the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham-led “opposition” continued the implementation of the agreement to evacuate civilians from the villages of al-Fua’a and Kafriya in the eastern countryside of Idlib in exchange for the evacuation of civilians and militants from Zabadani, Madaya, Sarghaya and Bloudan.
Fifteen buses with 750 civilians and 500 militants left Madaya and Sarghaya towards Idlib, and 46 buses arrived to Aleppo city with 8,000 civilians and National Defense Forces fighters coming from Kafriya and Fua’a.
On the other side of the agreement, Kata’ib Hezbollah in Iraq has released 26 Qatari hunters, some of them from the “Thani” family (the Qatari royal family). Kata’ib Hezbollah detained them in Iraq in late 2015. The Qatari hunters were handed over to the Iraqi Interior Ministry and later moved to Qatar on a private jet.

Ahrar al-Sham has also revealed an exchange of prisoners with the the Syrian Arab Army (SAA). The SAA has released 120 prisoners so far. 20 of them have been transferred to Idlib. The SAA will release 630 moore prisoners while Ahrar al-Sham will release an unknown number of SAA prisoners.
Hezbollah’s media wing has published a video showing the entry of the SAA into the city of Sarghaya and Bloudan after the departure of the militants from them. Some clashes between the SAA and a low number of remaining militants were reported in Bloudan.
The SAA blew up the previously discovered tunnel linking up Zabadani with Madaya.
