The Syrian army says a “regime of calm” around the capital, Damascus, has been extended for another 48 hours.
The Syrian military made the announcement in a statement quoted by state television on Monday. It made no mention of a 72-hour lull in fighting in the north of coastal Latakia Province.
On Sunday, the Syrian Armed Forces Command said in a statement it had extended a 24-hour lull in fighting in the capital which had been announced on Friday. The regime of silence affected the capital and the Eastern Ghouta region on its outskirts.
Meanwhile, head of the Russian Center for reconciliation of the opposing sides in Syria, Lt. Gen. Sergei Kuralenko said Monday that talks were underway on declaring a “regime of calm” in Syria’s Aleppo Province.
“Negotiations on introducing a ‘regime of calm’ in Aleppo Province continue,” he said, as quoted by Russia’s Interfax.
Syria’s offensive in Aleppo is based on a UN Security Council resolution which accepts Syria’s right to fighting terrorists.

Israeli Justice Minister Ayelet Shaked has announced she will push for a controversial plan to extend Israeli civil law to West Bank settlements – a move that critics say would be tantamount to the annexation of territories beyond the Green Line.

“Conditions need to be equal. There are basic laws that do not apply in Judea and Samaria [West Bank]. It is my goal to equalize conditions within one year, either by a GOC [General Officer Commanding] decree or through legislation,” Shaked said at a conference in Jerusalem on Sunday, as quoted by Ynet News.

A huge migrant camp under the Stalingrad metro in the French capital is being evacuated, local media reported. The notorious camp with hundreds of asylum seekers earlier saw fierce battles between refugees.
Shortly after 6:00am local time (04:00 GMT), the first migrants, including those from Sudan and Afghanistan, began to board buses to take them to refugee shelters.
French security forces were positioned early Monday morning near the station, Le Parisien newspaper reported. The authorities blocked the traffic in the area and closed the station.
“They will be sent to [migrant] centers in Ile-de-France [region] and other provinces,” said Sophie Brocas, secretary general of the Prefecture of Ile-de-France.
Between 400 and 500 asylum seekers were registered in the camp earlier on Sunday, according to French media.
