Syria's army and militants have clinched truces in key flashpoints around Damascus in recent weeks, most recently in war-ravaged Babbila.

The agreement involves a ceasefire, the lifting of choking army sieges and allowing food to enter militant-held areas, with opposition insurgents handing over their heavy weapons and the government raising national flag over the neighborhoods.
