On Thursday, the head of the Russian mediation center in Syria, German Rudenko, said that more than 30 towns and villages have joined the national reconciliation process in the Syrian province of Hama.

“The work is very meticulous and delicate; everything here is based on religious and national matters, but overall about 30 communities have signed an application form to join the peace process and negotiations,” Rudenko said.
It was reported on February 29 that up to 1,000 militants promised to drop their weapons and join the peace process in a gathering held in the capital of Dara’a Governorate since the Syrian government pushed for a settlement to solve the crisis in Syria.

Since February 27, Syria has been observing a truce brokered by Russia and the US. Yesterday, the UN special envoy for Syria Staffan de Mistura said the truce “greatly reduced” violence, despite some trivial violations in some cities.
It is reported in western media that the White House claimed tank and artillery attacks by the Syrian government which has vowed to continue targeting ISIS and Nusra Front positions.
Meanwhile, Russia said shelling of the Syrian territory by Turkey and terrorist groups was jeopardizing the truce.
Sergei Kuralenko , head of the Russian Ceasefire Coordination Center said he has been receiving information about the artillery shelling which continues from the Turkish territory.
