QARA Cheap Oakland Athletics Jerseys , Syria, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- Around 700 Islamic State (IS) militants and their families started evacuating their last stronghold in western Qalamoun region toward the eastern city of Bukamal on Monday, according to Xinhua reporters at the site.
Around 300 IS militants were among those who evacuated and the rest are their family members.
A total of 16 buses carrying the IS militants and their families left the barrens of Qara in western Qalamoun.
The evacuated also included 112 family members of IS who were brought from Lebanon's Arsal to join their relatives from IS in their evacuation to Bukamal.
Meanwhile Cheap Philadelphia Phillies Jerseys , 25 wounded members were also transported by Syrian Arab Red Crescent (SARC) to nearby hospitals in Qara for quick treatment before returning to the assembly point of the evacuees to leave Qara.
The move marked the first time IS militants fully evacuate an area they controlled under a deal and in buses provided by the government.
The al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front and other rebels were evacuated from several areas recently in what was seen as a view of weakness and surrender.
But this time is the first when IS militants evacuate after fully surrendering and under the sight of journalists and cameras.
And it's also the first instance where the Hezbollah fighters will be escorting the convoy through the desert to Bukamal, a city held by IS in Deir al-Zour province, which is expected to be the next target of the Syrian army and Hezbollah.
The evacuation comes after the IS militants were cornered in the barrens of Qara as a result of a wide-scale offensive launched 10 days ago by the Hezbollah fighters and the Syrian army against the terror-designated group in Qalamoun near the Lebanese territories.
After the recent progress against IS Cheap Pittsburgh Pirates Jerseys , the terror group surrendered in Qalamoun and demanded to be evacuated to the city of Bukamal.
In return, the terror group divulged the fate of Lebanese soldiers kidnapped in 2014. Unfortunately, it turned out that the Lebanese soldiers had been killed by IS.
The agreement of the evacuation was reached between Hezbollah and IS and agreed upon by the Syrian army.
The Syrian army said in a statement that it accepts the deal to save the blood of the soldiers.
Dubbed "If You Return We Will Return Cheap San Diego Padres Jerseys ," the operation in Qalamoun against IS aimed to clear the badlands of the western Qalamoun region in Syria from IS, just a couple of weeks after both allies dislodged the al-Qaida-linked Nusra Front from areas in western Qalamoun and the adjacent Juroud Arsal barrens on the Lebanese side of the border.
In the last battle against Nusra, the Syrian army and Hezbollah were fighting on the Syrian side of the borders Cheap San Francisco Giants Jerseys , and other fighters of Hezbollah were fighting on the Lebanese side of the frontier.
At the time, the Lebanese army wasn't engaged in the fight but took defensive positions in case of any attempt by the Nusra militants to carry out counter attacks.
In this battle against IS, Hezbollah and the Syrian army are fighting in Syria Cheap Seattle Mariners Jerseys , while the Lebanese army is fighting IS in Lebanon.
Lebanese officials said there was no coordination between the Lebanese army and Hezbollah or the Syrian army.

WASHINGTON, June 25 (Xinhua) -- The death toll from the sudden flooding in the eastern U.S. state of West Virginia has risen to 26 on Saturday as the bodies of three more victims were found overnight.
The newly found victims in Kanawha County were one male and two females who presumably drowned when high water flooded their homes, said a USA Today report, quoting the county's Sheriff's Office.
Just after midnight on Saturday, the state's Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management tweeted that at least 23 people died in the flooding and more than 32,000 homes and businesses were without power across the state.
A state of emergency has been declared in 44 of the state's 55 counties, according to an ABC News report.
West Virginia Governor Earl Ray Tomblin said Friday that the damage is widespread and devastating, lamenting the flooding "among the worst in a century for some parts of the state."
As much as 8 to 10 inches of rain fell in six to eight hours in parts of the state on Thursday, said the National Weather Service, calling the amount of rain in such a short time likely a "one-in-a-thousand-year event."
