QARA
Sean Davis Jersey , 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

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.

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.

T. J. Watt Jersey , seen as closest to the ousted leader, to voluntarily leave the party.
The party's reform committee announced the recommendation, saying Park should take a political responsibility for the failure in governing state affairs
