Im going out as welcome the Israeli Military has evacuated more than four hundred syrian White Helmets and their families to safety in jordan the group is known around the world for pulling people out of the rubble of devastated towns and cities in rebel held territory the government though accuses them of aiding terrorists. They could have been killed by the regime had they remained in syria. Theyve been putting their lives on the line since the start of syrias civil war the White Helmets often seen running toward scenes most people would flee for all to help people injured in ears strikes and shellings like here in aleppo ny theyre being best used themselves. Israels military confirmed the evacuations of hundreds of White Helmets and their families a humanitarian effort as part of a joint action along with the United States and european countries. It comes as an offensive by the Syrian Regime is gaining grange restoring government control across large swathes of the countryside where sed the syrian army has been advancing towards the israeli controlled Golan Heights right next to connect where the white helmet volunteers are coming from. An agreement brokered by russia was reached a few days ago to see the rebels hand over territory or rein connector and neighboring darva to Syrian Forces those rebels who did not want to cooperate with the government could leave. Most of them and their families are no stranded in iraq three hundred kilometers north of can it aid workers are there to receive them. Head off the first convoy from canet truck and iraq province has arrived it included certifies buses that were carrying around two thousand people feel now im a jedi and we displaced from tear up province have just arrived at the crossing point. We are displaced because of the bombing and a fierce offensive as the regime and the Russian Forces see a trip was very difficult like on a budget then. These are just the first of four thousand people expected to make the journey where they have come from can it show a stronghold of al qaeda in syria. Its one of the last rebel held areas tonight be retaken by the Syrian Regime. So as we heard earlier in the report Israeli Forces have saved several hundred socalled white helmet rescue workers from syria earlier i spoke to ws correspondent ryan beirut and i asked her to explain how that rescue mission came about well israel has not taken any refugees but over the last few years they have treated thousands of civilians whove been actually traveling on the other side of the Golan Heights which is occupied by israel and oncet into the definition will see that they will not interfere why this is still about just because germany canada and didnt specifically ask the sri to get any of this mission and jordan has done that too and counted out germany and britain have promised that they would be providing shelter to these people now the rich needs of course the economy people but now we are hearing only four hundred twenty two of these people have been rescued some hundred of them are workers with White Helmets the workers and the rest of their families this is being done by its because germany britain and u. K. And he was asked for this to be done and this is because these countries that i mentioned have been supporting white financially and in other ways to carry out to carry out the operations. Of the boards. Why was this group close the Golan Heights in particular danger now. Two reasons one is its being dangerous all the supply but in a little boy who thought these areas were completely under a bridge in c. T. So even if somebody wanted to rescue them it was physically not possible it was physically tough that it basically meant sending boots on the ground and having a dimension incident war and in this case you have the border with jordan and you have the border sort of sitting down slightly this resident could be desk but its also in this case. Why the north rebels have already backed all of that out and the complete this assumes an inspection of this territory which is under the control of isis affiliates of these people who are basically caught between the isis affiliates and bombing by regime and the Russian Air Force so they were in a particularly precarious position and because they could be rescued only israel would be that theyre walking on their mark gordon these countries germany canada and u. S. And u. K. Have come forward to say lets rescue we can so thats whats really happened on trial for and beirut thank you very much.
