According to the SOHR report, the 400 ISIS fighters may have been transferred as part of an exchange with the Syrian government for the release of the Druze civilians that were taken hostage by the terrorist group in August.

The SOHR said that the deal was made on Saturday and that the ISIS members were transferred to a part of Idlib under the control of Daesh elements.

The Syrian government has not commented on this claim nor has any source in Sweida mentioned this deal.

Since the ISIS kidnapped dozens of civilians from the Sweida Governorate in July, the Syrian government has been negotiating the release of the people currently held captive by the terrorist group.

It is believed that the ISIS has managed to move the civilians from the Al-Safa volcanic region to the Deir Ezzor Governorate, where they are currently being held captive in an undisclosed area.
