Syria's official news agency SANA reported that scores of displaced families have returned to the village after "the Syrian army cleansed it from terrorism."

"The village is destroyed and has no services ... the government took no action for its reconstruction," he added on condition of anonymity.

The war in Syria is winding down after government forces, supported by allied Russians, regained large swathes of territory from rebels and Islamist militants, strengthening President Bashar al-Assad's grip on power.
