“After a meeting between the notables of the Yarmouk area with the leadership of the Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade, to find a solution to the bloodshed between the fighting factions in the area, praise to God the following proposals were reached to stop this bleeding:

First - The Yarmouk Martyrs Brigade promises to withdraw from the areas that have been contested ((Sahem and Hit)) in exchange for finding a neutral external party to take over the town of Sahem Al-Golan, prevent the entry of any military faction, and make it a safe, demilitarized civilian area.

Second - The second party that stationed in the town of Hit promises to withdraw its heavy machinery, and all the factions and elements that came to Hit while they are from outside Hit, and only the Muslims from the people of Hit and the affiliated and dissident factions who were previously in Hit will remain in the Hit.

Third:

As a good-gesture, the Yarmouk martyrs [Brigade] promises to withdraw the al-Suruji checkpoint, provided that the checkpoint will be taken over by a faction that is acceptable to both parties.

Fourth:

After the al-Suruji checkpoint is withdrawn, the Hit factions must start withdrawing their fighting factions and begin removing those mentioned in the second article.

Fifth:

The work will begin on the ground seriously after the two parties agree to sign this paper by the notables of the region.
