Syrian government forces have taken control of the besieged Damascus suburb of Daraya after completing the evacuation of civilians and rebel fighters from the town, Aljazeera reports citing state media.
Alaa Ibrahim, the governor of Damascus, toured the emptied suburb and promised to rebuild it, Syria's state news agency SANA reported late on Saturday evening.
Daraya's civilian residents, believed to number around 8,000, are expected to be sent to government-run reception centres in the capital pending resettlement elsewhere.
