ISIL called on the Lebanese army Tuesday to free women prisoners and establish a demilitarized zone in exchange for releasing Lebanese soldiers they captured during clashes last August.
Sheikh Wessam Al-Masri, negotiating on behalf of the Lebanese families' soldiers with ISIL, in a press conference after meeting with representatives of ISIL on borders with Syria, said ISIL fight was against Hezbollah group not with the Lebanese people, army, or the Lebanese government.
Al-Masri noted that ISIL conditions to release Lebanese prisoners they captured was to establish an unarmed zone between Lebanon and Syria northeast of the country, or between Arsal town in Lebanon until Syria's Al-Tafil town, for the purpose of protecting Syrian refugees, and to set up a field hospital for the injured.
ISIL also called for the release of women prisoners, pledging not to kill any soldier they have, if the Lebanese government secured the release of Saja Al-Dulaimi and Alaa Al-Oqaili, who were arrested in Lebanon on suspicion of being involved with Syrian extremist organization.
Last August, after fierce border clashes with the Lebanese army, ISIL released some of the soldiers they captured, and also announced the killing of four others.
The group still holds 27 Lebanese soldiers, among them 11 in Al-Jabalia area on the borders.
