(Telegraph-UK) Syrian rebels have agreed to surrender Quneitra - a sensitive area bordering the Israeli Golan Heights - to government forces, Rami Abdel Rahman, head of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said Thursday. "The deal provides for a ceasefire, the handover of heavy and medium weapons, and the return of government institutions to the area." A member of the rebel delegation to the talks told AFP that Syrian government forces accompanied by Russian military police would enter the buffer zone with the Golan.
