Syrian army helicopters dropped leaflets across a number of villages in the eastern Syrian province of Deir ez-Zor calling on militants to lay down arms, local sources told Sputnik on Wednesday.
DAMASCUS (Sputnik) – On Sunday, Syrian Air Force jets dropped leaflets in the cities of Jabal Zawiya and Jisr Shughur in the northwestern province of Idlib issuing similar calls.
'The moment of truth is here, the world is changing rapidly, the army is advancing. Think about yourself, the delay could cost you your life, hasten to surrender and save your lives and future,' the brochures read.
In accordance with the Russia-US brokered ceasefire in effect since February 27, the leaflets flown across ceasefire-affected areas list the phone number of Russia's reconciliation center in Latakia for militant groups seeking to join the truce and engage in dialogue.
Terrorist organizations active in the Arab Republic are not affected by the cessation of hostilities between government and rebel forces.
