Five people, including a soldier, were killed and 15 others wounded early Sunday by an Israeli missile attack on the Syrian capital Damascus, the Syrian army said in a statement.
The agreement was mediated by Russia between the Syrian authorities and local dignitaries in Daraa to defuse months-long tension.
Turkey's defence minister, Hulusi Akar, had previously warned that Turkey was not ready to give up its observation posts in Idlib province.
The approach by Moscow and Ankara is an echo of their dealings in Syria, where Turkey and Russia, along with Iran, have also set up negotiations that are separate from UN-led efforts to end the fighting.
At least 13 civilians were killed in airstrikes by the Syrian army on a popular market in Maarat al-Nauman, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights reported.
The development comes after a deal was reached on Sunday between the Syrian government and the Kurdish forces under the mediation of Russia to counter Turkey's military progress.
