Arsal Deal: Buses in Outskirts, Militants to Syria
Local Editor
Buses arrived at Wadi Hmayyed Monday morning to begin transporting militants and their families to Syria under an agreement between Hezbollah and Jabhat Fatah al-Sham, formerly known as Al-Nusra, the War Media Center reported.
Some 150 to 200 buses will be used to transport roughly 9,000 refugees to Syria over several days.
The War Media Center said on Sunday that eight captive Hezbollah members will be returned to Lebanon as part of a swap deal between Hezbollah and Jabhat Fatah al-Sham reached last week.
Encampments in Wadi Hmayed will effectively be emptied as a result.
Hours earlier, the implementation of the first stage of ceasefire agreement between Hezbollah and Nusra Front ended on Sunday.
The first stage of the deal is a corpse swap operation, in which 5 bodies of Hezbollah martyrs were exchanged by nine corpses of killed Nusra terrorists.
