In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

All praises be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon his Prophet, his family, and all of his companions.

This is what was agreed upon between the brothers in Hayat Tahrir Al Sham and Ahrar Al Sham in the area of Jabal Zaawiyya and others:

Releasing the detainees being held by both sides

Withdrawing all of the military forces, ending the state of alert, removing the barriers that were put up recently, and returning to the old barriers (Rawhiah Fork, Radar, and Al Saleeb)

Stopping all of the escalation and incitement in the media

We ask Allah to preserve the blood of the mujahideen and unite them.
