US Secretary of State, John Kerry claimed recently that the levels of violence in Syria have decreased an 80 to 90%, which, according to him is highly remarkable.
Last February 27th, at midnight, the cease of hostilities started in Syria, by means of a historic agreement that encompassed over 100 armed factions. The plan estimated that all the parts accepting the arrangement could participate of the ceasefire, except the groups qualified as terrorists, namely Daesh and Al-Nusra Front.
Syrian authorities have expressed their commitment to respect the ceasefire, but also they claim they have the right to respond to any violation to the truce carried out by any of the extremist groups in the country.
The Syrian army has faced several attacks in the northern city of Deir Ezzor, about 460 kilometers northeast from Damascus and Hama as well in the center of the country.
