Pan-Arab al-Mayadeen TV cited a Syrian military source as saying that the rebels initially said there were 2,000 people to evacuate, adding that the number later on turned out to be 15,000.

The cited source said "the negotiations for the evacuation of the rebels have revealed the deception of the rebels, as they have initially informed us that the number of those leaving is 2,000, but we have later discovered that the number is 15,000, including 4,000 rebels and their families."

The unnamed source also said that "any deal or political settlement must be agreed by all parties, mainly the Syrian government."

The source added that the large number of evacuees demands a "political work on an international level and not to be a partial talk."

Apparently, the large number of people that will evacuate eastern Aleppo pushed the government to consider putting other items in the deal, such as the need to retrieve the bodies of the slain soldiers and those kidnapped by the rebels.

Also, the government in Syria reportedly wants to include lifting the rebels' siege off the towns of Kafraya and Foa in the northwestern province of Idlib.

The military source, cited by al-Mayadeen, said the Syrian army will continue the battles until liberating all of Aleppo.

This comes as thousands of civilians kept flooding out of eastern Aleppo toward government-controlled areas, and temporary shelters, where their identities are being scrutinized.

Local reports placed the number of evacuated people from eastern Aleppo at more than 80,000.

State news agency SANA said thousands of civilians fled eastern Aleppo on Tuesday alone.

Over 1,000 rebels surrendered in eastern Aleppo over the past two days.

On Monday and Tuesday evening, celebrations broke out in Aleppo, as the army has almost captured the city, with people chanting in support of President Bashar al-Assad and the army.

The state TV said it was the day of celebration for Aleppo's victory.

With military victory in Aleppo, the Western powers have been on a barrage of accusations to the Syrian army of committing atrocities in eastern Aleppo.

Observers believe that such tactic is a play on the humanitarian file to tarnish the military campaign in eastern Aleppo, especially that the remaining rebels are with the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front, and also because the Western powers didn't want the Syrian army to recapture all of Aleppo.

In an interview to RT released Wednesday, al-Assad said that "West is telling Russia we went too far in defeating terrorists."
