Last Monday, Washington and Moscow hailed an agreement that would see a temporary cessation of hostilities in Syria.

The "ceasefire" went into effect on Saturday and so far, so good. "Clashes and airstrikes across western Syria largely abated Saturday morning, as an internationally backed truce took hold in parts of the country where rebels have been fighting the regime," WSJ reported this morning. Although the SAA apparently hit a few rebel positions east of Damascus, overall, "it was a calm morning."

Russia said it would halt all flights over the country for the first 24 hours to avoid "mistakes" in targeting.
