IS militants dressed as women fleeing from Syria

Militants of the terrorist group Islamic State dressed as women are trying to flee Aleppo.

"According to sources, dozens of IS terrorists were caught by the government forces dressed in women's clothes and wearing make-up in an attempt to flee the North of Syria," Gazeta.ru reports with reference to the Fars news agency.

According to preliminary data, the withdrawal of the militants is associated with successful offensive by Hezbollah and the forces of the Syrian government troops.

In March 2015, 20 militants were detained in Iraq while they were dressed as women.
