[IraqiNews] Local sources from Syria’s southern city of As Suwaida have said an undeclared agreement was made between the Syrian regime and Islamic State
...formerly ISIS or ISIL, depending on your preference. Before that al-Qaeda in Iraq, as shaped by Abu Musab Zarqawi. They're very devout, committing every atrocity they can find in the Koran and inventing a few more. They fling Allah around with every other sentence, but to hear the pols talk they're not really Moslems....
to release the Druze kidnapped women, in return for 100 Death Eaters, BasNews reported on Tuesday.

Islamic State has reportedly kidnapped tens of women in al-Shubki village, east of As Suwaida, during its attack against the province which left hundreds killed and injured.

Around 400 holy warriors of Jaish Khalid bin al-Walid, which vowed alliance to the group, were transferred from the regions they control in al-Yarmouk basin, east of As Suwaida, along with their weapons and families.

The group, according to the source, made negotiations with the Syrian government to transfer the holy warriors from al-Yarmouk basin to the countryside of As Suwaidaa.

The holy warriors then gathered at Daraa province, before being transferred secretly in groups over two full days.

The agreement will also include releasing IS members, estimated at around 100 members, in return for the kidnapped civilians, who were killed during the attack.

In May, the Syrian forces transferred IS members from al-Yarmouk camp, south of Damascus to the countryside of As Suwaida, in accordance with an undeclared agreement.

Army has been intensifying Arclight airstrikes against the holy warriors in al-Yarmouk basin, which inflicted huge losses in lives and equipments on the Death Eaters.
