Syria ceasefire deal takes effect
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn internationally backed ceasefire for Syria came into effect at sundown Monday as part of a hard-fought deal to bring an end to the war between rebels and regime fighters.
The truce, brokered by the United States and Russia, entered into force at 7 p.m. local time (1600 GMT) across Syria except in jihadist-held areas.
While the Syrian government and its allies have signed on to the deal, opposition forces have yet to formally respond.
