IS Hands Over to Hizbullah Body of Slain Iranian Soldier

W460

The media arm of Hizbullah said Thursday the group has received the body of an Iranian Revolutionary Guard member recently captured and killed by the Islamic State group in Syria.

The handover of Mohsen Haji's body is part of a controversial deal brokered by Hizbullah to clear IS fighters from an area along the Lebanon-Syria border.

Hizbullah's al-Manar TV said Thursday that Haji's body was received by the group and is now awaiting a DNA test before being sent to Iran.

U.S. airstrikes blocked the advance of an IS convoy carrying militants toward Iraq on Wednesday, derailing the Hizbullah-negotiated deal that removed some 600 extremists and civilians from the Lebanon-Syria border.

The evacuation agreement had angered many Iraqis, who accused Syria and Hizbullah of dumping the militants on the Iraqi border.

Negotiations are ok with IS when it involves hezbollah prisoners and iranian prisoners. What is an Iranian soldier doing in Syria?

الرئيس الإيراني حسن روحاني: مشكلتنا مع السعودية هي تدخلها في اليمن ودعم الجماعات الإرهابية.

yes @Justin and that is why his delivery boy nassrallah negotiated with the syrian regime instead to shuttle IS 'militants as nassrallah now chooses to call them ( not terrorists or takfiris ) in air conditioned buses.

عميد في الحرس الثوري يكشف عدد القتلى الإيرانيين بسوريا

وأشار إلى أن عدد القتلى والمصابين لقوات الحرس الثوري وميليشياته منذ دخولهم للقتال إلى جانب النظام في #سوريا تعادل نسبة القتلى الأميركيين خلال حروبهم في #العراق وأفغانستان منذ عشرة أعوام.
