Syrians gather at the entrance of al-Ziabiyeh town, southern countryside of Damascus, capital of Syria, on Feb. 6, 2017. Civilians started to return to their homes in the town on Monday, after the Syrian authorities finished 70 percent of the rehabilitation of the infrastructure in that town, which was recaptured by the Syrian army from the rebels in 2013, but the return of families was delayed due to "technical and logistic reasons," according to Syrian government officials.
