BEIRUT, LEBANON (11:10 P.M.) – The Syrian Arab Army (SAA) has recovered the bodies of their soldiers that were ambushed by the so-called Islamic State (ISIS) in southern Damascus last week.

According to a military source in Damascus, the bodies of 57 soldiers killed in the Al-Qadam District of southern Damascus were delivered to the Syrian Army via the Syrian Red Crescent Society tonight.

The source added that ISIS allowed the Red Crescent to recover the bodies of the dead soldiers after the government released some family members of the Islamic State terrorists from their prisons.

No further details have been released.

Last week, the Islamic State launched a big assault inside of Al-Qadam, seizing 90 percent of the district from the Syrian Army.

Since they seized almost all of Al-Qadam, the fighting has died down and negotiations have restarted between the Syrian Army and ISIS.

ISIS has offered to surrender all of their positions in southern Damascus in exchange for transportation to eastern Deir Ezzor.
