2015年CRI 媒体称约旦将在叙释放女囚换人质释放 以色列与黎巴嫩真主党交火

 

Authorities in Jordan have reportedly released a female suicide bomber¹ in a prisoner swap² with the Islamic State militant³ group.

But it's still unclear who the IS is going to free in return, a Japanese hostage or a captured Jordanian pilot.

Syria's pan-Arab al-Mayadeen TV says the woman, Sajida al-Rishawi, has entered Syrian territory and the IS will exchange the Japanese hostage with her in Syria's northern province of al-Raqqa.

But earlier in the day, Jordan's information minister said the country would exchange the suicide bomber for the pilot, without mentioning the Japanese hostage.

The IS had threatened to kill the two hostages within 24 hours — late Wednesday night Japan time — unless al-Rishawi was freed.

The deadline has now passed.

Israeli Prime Minister is vowing⁴ to respond forcefully to missile attack from Hezbollah militants⁵.

Benjamin Netanyahu made the remark after Israeli forces traded fire with the Hezbollah militants on the Lebanese border, which has so far left the death of at least 2 Israeli soldiers and a Spanish UN peacekeeper.

The UN Security Council is to discuss the fighting at an emergency meeting in New York which is called by France.

The cross-border violence erupted when Israeli military vehicles were struck by anti-tank missiles by Hezbollah militants in a tract⁶ of land where the borders of Israel, Lebanon and Syria meet.
