EXCLUSIVE: Negotiations underway to evacuate ISIS from east Hama enclave
Negotiations are now being held to evacuate the Islamic State militants from their bastion in the eastern Hama countryside.
An informed source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Russia has pushed for indirect negotiations whereby the group’s militants can leave with their light arms to the eastern province of Deir Ezzor
MURASELON hasn’t yet been able to completely verify the authenticity of this claim.
In order to facilitate the negotiations, the Russian airstrikes have been temporarily halted
According to the purported deal, civilians who have been used as human shields by the terror organization will be leaving either to Idlib or Salamiyah countryside.
This comes as the Syrian troops – backed by allied forces – succeeded late this evening to tighten the noose around the Islamic State militants in its enclave.
