On August 16, the Syrian Arab Army (SAA) and local fighters captured the southwestern part of the area of al-Safa north of the governorate of al-Suwayda following heavy clashes with the remaining fighters of ISIS, according to the Hezbollah media wing in Syria.
A day earlier, the SAA repelled an attack of ISIS fighters who were planning to break the siege on al-Safa in order to run away towards the Damascus desert.
In a related development, the al-Suwayda 24 blog said that a large unit of the Russian Millitary Police arrived in the northern al-Suwayda countryside. According to the Syria-based blog, the besieged fighters of ISIS in al-Safa may hand over around 30 civilian hostages, who were abducted three weeks ago, to the unit as a part of a secret deal between the terrorist group and the Damascus government.
The SAA advance in al-Safa will likely force ISIS to submit to the terms of the Damascus government and release all the civilians hostages, most of whom are women and children.
If not, all them will be hanged, and that’s the end of any caliphate.
Actually, I think Russia should “out-pay” ISIS for their services if and only if they enter Jordon and Israel and teach them a lesson.
Al, no human can play with that, just hang themm I mean those who don’t attempted fo escape. conclusion: it’s more easy if all them attempted to escape, I mean to write the necessary report.
OK. In hindsight, I’ll agree with you.
It was just a thought !!.
It would be amazing if these captives manage to be saved, would guess they would be the Druze.
