So far, the army has succeeded in capturing several towns and villages in the eastern countryside of Daraa, while managing to enter other towns without a fight as some rebel groups accepted reconciliation deals with the government.

The reconciliation deals demanded the rebels hand over their heavy weapons to the army in exchange for a government pardon for those who abandon insurgency.

However, some ultra-radical groups rejected the reconciliation deal and continued to fight.

Activists say the army's recent gains in Daraa, either through reconciliations or battles, are estimated to have increased the government-controlled areas in Daraa to 58 percent of the entire province.

The military officer told Xinhua that the battles will continue until Daraa and other rebel-controlled areas across Syria are all liberated.
