Syria Ready to Swap More Prisoners For Civilian Hostages

The Syrian government has announced its willingness to conduct further prisoner swaps in exchange for civilian hostages held by terrorist groups, an official source said Monday.

The source added that due to the success in liberating many civilians and soldiers abducted by terrorist groups, the government is ready to swap prisoners in exchange for detainees.

On Thursday, scores of women and children returned home to Lattakia following a successful exchange after being held for three and a half years by terrorist organizations.
