ISIS Delivered the Body of an Iranian Soldier to Hezbollah Lebanon

The group known as the 'Islamic State' or ISIS, in accordance with an agreement with Hezbollah Lebanon for the withdrawal of its forces from the Syrian-Lebanese border, delivered the body of Mohsen Hajji, an Iranian soldier involved in the Syrian war, to Hezbollah. On Thursday, September 9, the Associated Press reported, citing the Al-Manar television network affiliated with Hezbollah, that this group announced it had received Mr. Hajji's body and intends to conduct a DNA test before sending it to Iran. Mohsen Hajji was a member of the '8th Najaf Ashraf' division of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) who was captured by ISIS forces during a clash in mid-August in the border area of Syria, Iraq, and Jordan, shortly before his beheading, which received widespread media coverage in Iran and on social networks. Following this, the IRGC announced that it targeted a convoy of ISIS forces in the Deir ez-Zor region of Syria with its drones in retaliation for Mr. Hajji's death. The confirmation of this Iranian military personnel's death in battle comes while officials of the Islamic Republic have repeatedly denied the presence of Iranian forces in the Syrian civil war, claiming only advisory roles in the country. The Associated Press writes that ISIS is also set to deliver the bodies of several Lebanese soldiers who were captured by this group in 2014 to Hezbollah Lebanon. After a week of heavy and continuous clashes on the Syrian-Lebanese border, ISIS and Hezbollah reached a ceasefire agreement on Sunday, stipulating that ISIS forces would move to eastern Syria and a town on the Iraqi border controlled by the group. However, this has not yet been possible due to the intervention of the US-led coalition against ISIS. Ryan Dillon, a spokesman for the coalition against ISIS, announced on Wednesday that coalition fighter jets bombed the path of ISIS forces, preventing them from moving towards the Iraqi border. Brett McGurk, the US special envoy in the anti-ISIS coalition, also stated that the coalition will not allow terrorists to enter Iraq. Nevertheless, Rami Abdulrahman, director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, said that several ambulances belonging to the ISIS convoy managed to reach areas controlled by ISIS in Syria. According to him, the body of Mohsen Hajji was delivered to Hezbollah Lebanon when these ambulances carrying injured ISIS members were able to reach areas controlled by the 'Islamic State' group. Hassan Nasrallah, the Secretary-General of Hezbollah, stated that negotiations with ISIS militants are the 'only way' to resolve the 'humanitarian and national' issue of returning the bodies of nine Lebanese soldiers who were captured by ISIS in 2014.
