ISIS is reportedly demanding a prisoner swap: exchanging the captives with Islamist inmates held in Roumieh prison, while the Nusra Front is calling for the opening of a humanitarian corridor to Arsal and better treatment of Syrian refugees.
The Lebanese government has insisted that it will only start indirect negotiations with the militants once they stop killing the captures servicemen. Interior Minister Nouhad Machnouk said Wednesday that a swap deal was possible.
