 Syria's opposition will stick to the cessation of hostilities despite what they said were 15 violations by Syrian government forces on Saturday and more breaches on Sunday, a spokesman for the High Negotiating Committee (HNC) said.
"The decision is to remain quiet, not to do anything, and I believe they will stick to the truce," Salim Al Muslat said. "Yesterday was the first day people can really go out and walk in the streets."
Muslat said the HNC would complain to the United Nations and countries backing the peace process about alleged Russian air strikes around the city of Aleppo, in an area with no fighters from Daesh or Nusra Front groups, excluded from the truce.
He also said there had been an attack by Hezbollah in the town of Zabadani, without giving details. Syrian forces had used barrel bombs and rockets on Saturday, he said.
