The route starts from the northern city of Raqqa towards Deir al-Zour province in eastern Syria.  SANA said the US-led coalition's warplanes have been flying over Raqqa, the de facto capital of ISIS, without conducting airstrikes over the past two days.

The news agency said the US and the SDF have struck an agreement with ISIS for their evacuation from Raqqa to Deir al-Zour, where the Syrian government forces are fighting ISIS militants. It added similar agreements were reported in three other cities in Syria. SANA also said that the US had evacuated dozens of ISIS leaders from Deir al-Zour before the Syrian army arrived.
